Aphotic is quite possibly the most unique Novembers Doom release yet. The album has its roots in darkness and melancholic madness, reminiscent of the band’s early doom roots but bringing something new and modern to the listener. Aphotic features special guests on several tracks. Anneke Van Giersbergen (The Gathering) delivers chilling and haunting vocals, violinist Rachel Barton Pine (Earthen Grave) lends her talents and finally, the man behind the mixing board Dan Swano (Nightingale, Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath) adds his vocal touch offering a rare appearance of his mighty growl.

This CD reissue brings back Mose Allison's second of six Prestige recordings. Allison performs eight instrumentals in a trio with bassist Addison Farmer and drummer Nick Stabulas, displaying his unusual mixture of country blues and bebop and even taking an effective trumpet solo on "Trouble In Mind." However it is his vocals on "Lost Mind" and particularly the classic "Parchman Farm" that are most memorable. ~ AllMusic
