    Legacy of Ruin very much continues Eight Bells' style of ethereal, haunting doom but splices it with more dynamic and muscular riffs, drums, and vocals for a new, and markedly improved, version of the band's sound. It is still an album to sink into to be sure, but it also affords the listener with more footholds on their way down.
