"Gloom" features 21 tracks and a full playing time of 24:33 minutes, so it´s over almost before you notice. "Funeral Home" is the longest track on the album with it´s 2:39 minutes long playing time, so naturally the rest of the tracks are very short. It works really well for Macabre though, and as their tracks are generally very simple in structure, a longer playing time might have made them a bit tedious. "Gloom" features a raw, powerful, and for the time relatively detailed sound production, which suits the material perfectly, and upon conclusion "Gloom" is a promising and rather unique sounding debut album. A 3.5 - 4 star (75%) rating is deserved.
