When you put out 74 minutes of music on a CD, most of the time you call it an album. Not so Reverend Bizarre, who chose to describe Harbinger of Metal as an EP. I suspect this is part of the band's painstaking devotion to quality, refusing to ascribe the album status to only their most significant efforts. Whatever you call it, Harbinger of Metal is still a very respectable doom metal album - perhaps not as monumental as In the Rectory of the Bizarre Reverend, but still a top-notch doom piece, particularly for its brilliant cover of Burzum's Dunkelheit which manages to both capture the spirit of the original and stay true to the band's doomy approach at the same time.
