On Reaching Empyrean, Ichabod let loose with six songs of Alice in Chains-style dirges that alternate between metal and hard rock, all with traces of psychedelic doom and occasional hints of a more hardcore sound. t�s an eclectic, over-the-map affair, but Ichabod make it work. If you�re expecting something quick and dirty, you�re going to be disappointed with Ichabod. But if you�re looking for some morose death rock, the kind that�s based in grim misery and drawn out to underscore that feeling, then you should check out Reaching Empyrean.

Ichabod has a serious aggressive sound that is crust core, metal and deep seeded classic rock influenced; almost garage at times. Their sound reminds me of everything from Man is the Bastard to Melvins to Buzzoven. Just plain blistering high energy and intense throughout! It's got some spacalicous moments like Hawkwind saturated in spacey effects and at times hints towards MC5.

In Ichabod�s music flows every kind of music from Sludge to Stoner over Psychedelic, but the main influence is Doom.
