    Ok, here’s a fragment from a fresh review from the website called „From The Dust Returned“:

    Though Ukrainians Narrow House hail from a tradition of soul leeching, somber funeral doom, the sound they’ve adopted for their debut A Key to Panngrieb is actually far brighter, more atmospheric, and their wise incorporation of instruments like a cello and synthesizers helps give this music a far larger breadth than if they had merely trudged along with the same lifeless, disaffected lurch as so many others in this niche.

    Full text can be found [b][i]here. The most detailed review by now.

    A few words from Metal.de about „A Key to Panngrieb“:

    Langsam nähert sich der Herbst und wer Glück hat, kann die letzten Sonnenstrahlen des Spätsommers genießen. Jeder, der es jedoch nicht mehr bis zu den kälteren Jahreszeiten aushält, dem kann man nur NARROW HOUSE empfehlen. Diese Band schafft es gekonnt, die Trostlosigkeit und Farblosigkeit eines herbstlichen Nebels einzufangen und in ihrem neuesten Werk “A Key To Panngrieb“ zu vereinen.

    Ha-ha, I actually realized that most of the native English-speaking crowd doesn’t dig the name of our band. But no fear, Metal Storm had cleared this out for wide audience in their last review of our album.

    A Key To Pangriebb is really well crafted, from song arrangements to sound. Narrow House almost effortlessly succeed in conveying the wide ranges of doom, from fragile beauty to crushing loss to abject horror.

    Mortem Zine (Czech Republic) has something to say about „A Key to Panngrieb“ too:

    I’m not entirely sure whether I’ll often return to the gloomy Panngrieb or not, but I’m sure this magical journey is worth a try. However, I’m pretty sure that NARROW HOUSE’s next visits to the murky underground are very promising and something to look forward to.

    The [b][i]full version of review is in their native language and Google Translate handles it pretty badly, so I guess I will translate it to Russian first.

    French people from Kaosguards on „A Key to Panngrieb“:

    ESOTERIC child (which also contains a title, „Beneath This Face“ convincingly), this group practice a Funeral Doom very distinct in its statement, totally desperate, requiring slow and devoid of compromise. NARROW HOUSE is not intended to upset the rules fairly limited in this sub-genre: ultra slow tempo, towering riffs, mammoth and rhythmic throat singing.

    Not a big review though. Full version is here, French language inside.

    The country of Netherlands represented by „Brutalism“ web zine had an emotional breakdown during the listening of our album:

    The fourth and final track on this release, ‚Behind the Mask This‘ is a great finale. By this point in the CD, I had broken down into tears twice because it was such an emotional roller coaster of sound.

    Read the full version [b][i]here. Thank god they don’t use Dutch to write their reviews.

    Meanwhile, we’ve got some words from UK website „Ave Noctum“:

    On their own terms, Narrow House are the most accomplished new funeral doom band that I have heard in some time: They use the cello and keyboards beautifully to ease the flow from chord to chord in the riff, and the vocals have a fine tone to them.

    Full version can be found here.

    Another review from Netherlands has emerged. This time we have a word from the „Lords of Metal“ e-zine:

    Solitude Productions once again crosses our path with a mighty fine funeral doom album, this time from Ukraine. When looking at the cover of Narrow House’s ‘A Key To Panngrieb’ I am sure funeral doom is not something that will spring to mind. Pure funeral doom is really isn’t. It’s more psychedelic funeral doom such as we know it from bands such as Esoteric and Faal and in the quieter almost ambient passages of Shape Of Despair.

    Full version can be found [b][i]here.

    The new review is up, this time from „Doommantia“:

    The album is big, open and spacious like the musicians are not even playing in the same country, let alone the same studio. There are huge gaps in every guitar strike, cymbal and drum hit which makes this seem much slower than what is actually is. They bleed out their music so listening to this is like being strangled to death very very slowly which is a killer hook and perfect for a funeral doom exercise.

    The full version can be found [b][i]here. Surprisingly detailed review. The guy who wrote it had a heart attack some time ago and he is short on money, so if anyone here feels like supporting the fellow doom metal fan (he is actually an owner of that website), throw some bucks to his PayPal.

    So, what do we have next… Uh, yes, the review from Hungarian webzine „Femforgacs“. Can’t point out a bit for the quote, as this review is written in Hungarian (yeah, seriously) and it seems that Google Translate can’t handle it in full scale. So here is the direct googletranslated [b][i]link.

    Well, apparently we have a new review from USA. „Forbidden Magazine“ about „A Key to Panngrieb“:

    It’s virtually flawless in structure, flow, composition, delivery, and production. Narrow House create such a gravitational force with their combination of suffocating heaviness, dreary phantom atmosphere, and solemn melodies that it’s damn near impossible to escape it’s pull into the abyss.

    The full version can be found [b][i]here.

    Another non-translatable review, this time from Lithuanian „Hell Music“. I’m sure you will be amused with the googletranslated version which can be found [b][i]here.

    Some words from Portuguese „Temple of Doom Metal“ (googletranslated bit):

    During these 45 minutes of funereal exile, the ‚Russian school‘, let us say, comes in good shape, four themes touched very competent, well-structured, with a good balance between the keys and guitars and a well that throaty voice, sparsely, alternating with a clear tone and lean a little to the tortuous.

    The full version can be found [b][i]here. Thankfully, the English translation makes sense.

    Good news for European doom fans – this [b][i]online-shop based in Czech Republic sells some copies of „A Key to Panngrieb“ now. You might be more comfortable ordering it from there.
