Coming hot on the heels of 2007's critically acclaimed "Dagonite" EP Austin, Texas one-man black/doom metal project returns with "Angel Eyes". Once again delivering a harrowing mix of funeral doom and hateful black metal Brown Jenkins are rapidly making a name for themselves. Expanding on the strong aspects of its debut EP this full length sees Brown Jenkins building upon its epic mid-paced riffing, minimalist drumming and occasional vocals. The tracks on this record are even more elaborately crafted with slowly unfolding melodies, mammoth song structures and layer upon layer of details. The feeling of "Angel Eyes" is fittingly bleak and desolate expanding both on the band's black - as doom metal foundations. Like the material of the EP "Angel Eyes" is an engaging listen that combines the collective strengths of black - and doom metal. The production has improved compared to the band's EP with a thicker guitar tone that has gained a lot more clarity. The drums sound heavier and the overall production has gained a lot in definition and texture. Overall this is still leaning towards the black metal part of the equation. Artwork, design and lay-out conform to archetypical underground black metal stylings and only consist of black-white.
