Seeing One Last Ray Of Light Homo Homini Lupus Parting Of The Way Sybil Sullen Murmur Of Oppressive Stillness Flicker Of The Ardent Light To Glisten In All The Colors Of Distress Dark Meditations in Monastic Seclusion suffers repeated listens very well, with each successive spin peeling back layers of brilliance for the listener, and proving that Shroud of Despondency are indeed a band to watch in 2011.
