I'm not nearly enough of an expert on doom metal, but I like a great deal of it, especially epic and psychedelic doom, and this falls firmly into the psychedelic category. From the trippy cover to some of the melodies, this is as much doom metal as it is psychedelic rock and roll. There are sections of spaced-out vocals (male and female, which is an interesting tandem attack), suitably far-out guitar solos, and they keep their forward momentum as far as the music itself, which a lot of doom cannot do. The music feels like it's always in motion, and not at a stand-still. I see this more as music I can listen to for relaxation, since it's not completely in your face, and it has some definite laid back aspects. It's not light by any means, but it's not constantly crushing. The Well is definitely a band to check out if you like the more occult side of doom or psych rock, for sure.
