With "The Dust of Years", Arkley's metal misfits mix together some upbeat heavy metal and whole lot of slower doom metal. The music contained herein sports heavy riffs, crunchy guitars, sweeping acoustic passages, and dynamic songwriting. Ian is a master of creating emotion with his words and music, and that is exactly what he does on "The Dust of Years". Fans of Arkley's doom material will find much to like about "The Dust or Years". That same dark, somber emotion present on the My Silent Wake releases is present on the music here as well. In fact, "Exordium" is a slow, moody track that could very easily have fit onto any My Silent Wake album. Other tracks such as "Chaos of Dreams" and "The Turning Tide" sound much closer to the classic "Lament for the Weary" sound, albeit with a more modern production.... -- Scott Waters -- NOLIFETILMETAL.COM
