The music definitely harkens back to an early time period when the doom genre was just starting to take hold. The sound is equal parts Pentagram and Black Sabbath. There is also a distinctive progressive feel in the music that is supplied by the use of non-traditional instruments like mandolin and interesting rhythmical breakdowns within the songs themselves. It is evident from the first track that this is an outfit that really cares about their craft and has spent many hours fine tuning their sound into something very intense, very heavy, and very spiritual. Reino Ermitano are a band I like more and more upon each listen. Recommended for lovers of Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Acid King, and all things doomy and groovy.

I adore music that achieves doominess and groove simultaneously. These guys do that in leaps and bounds. Great stuff.
