Comme Satan Worshipping Doom et Miserable, Terminal est un album qui vraiment toute son ampleur quand il est écouté d'une traite car il s'agit d'une lente agonie qui s'étend sur presque trois-quarts d'heure. Les sonorités psychédéliques propres à Bongripper sont absentes et le stoner/doom metal du quartette tend plutôt vers une sphère atmosphérique (certains arpèges de "Slow" ne sont pas éloignés de celles de Earth) voire funéraire et la mort finit par s'imposer comme la seule évidence possible.

Few bands, if any, take sludge to the pitiless extremes that Primitive Man manage, so it's a brave combo indeed that accedes to a split with them. Sea Bastard, over the course of the 19+ minute hell-spawned slay ride that constitutes "The Hermit" give their cohorts more than a crawl for their money though. This is a black, scummed-out blizzard of grisly, unforgiving noise and we should bow before their decaying altar with all the deference one gives such cheerless sonic despondency. Nic Brown
