Ok so Seahag is a band from North Central Miss...FINE I'LL DO SOME RESEARCH. Oh...so they're from Little Rock Arkansas, ouch, that's worse than North Central Missouri. I don't mean to cast aspersions *(yes I exclusively do mean to do just that) but this band's "About Us:" is void of any background around the band and members and just mentions "we've played with rwake". Is life that bad? That's the highlight of your lives guys? Little Rock must be a fucking barren outpost on the highway to the abstract fields of magnetized nothingness.
Believe it or not a band from the south featuring a group of what i can best describe as "not classically handsome gentleman" would play an angry brand of doom metal. They have a song called "Drawn to Darkness" which is a song I assume inspired by fat red haired girls who smoke Newports. Ahhh yes, stereotypical bigotry™.
I'm not good at doing positive reviews about anything, ask any girl that ever blew me only to have me unpause my xbox game, but I will say this, if you do enjoy doom metal/riffs/metal/flannel/sideburns you have to check out the 3:28 second song called "Count Your Dead" it really is worth the download. Doom can use some more songs under 7 minutes long. I love classic movies that aren't in a hurry to tell the story but there is something to be said about pace, and this band has it. 7 minute songs certainly don't feel like it at all. I'm kind of out on doom, so I don't know if these guys ripped any band off or anything, but I genuinely enjoy them, and I didn't think I could say that about any band that plays doom metal lately.
Also lets not go crazy here, I'm not saying this album moved me and everyone should own two copies, I'm not sure what really could in this genre at this point. But it definitely didn't eat farts.
Our Presence Here is Vain
If the band ever reads this feel free to quote me on any album sleeves and press releases "definitely didn't eat farts"
also does anyone think of the scene in Kiss of Death where Widmark pushes the old woman down the stairs and calls her "a lyin' ol' haaaaag"? "double crossin' squeelers all of ya"
no?
click play and die laughing.
best fucking laugh.

The best thing about this album is that these guys don't torture their listeners by unnecessarily dragging out their songs. It's not bad for melodic sludge, kind of reminds me of Rwake, and totally bores me to death. Also, could they be uglier?
p..s the word verification characters I had to enter to leave this comment were "imquit." How. Appropriate.
I wasn't deeply in love with the band. I just thought it was better than the last one.
