Static Abyss’ second full-length “Aborted from Reality” invokes such horror and treads into the style of morbid crusty death doom metal, Chris Reifert and Greg Wilkinson have successfully created a filthy and sordid amalgam of slow death doom metal. Out via Peaceville Records!
“The Choral Tomb” is a bombardment of oceanic maelstrom the music is vastly spacious and filled with emotion-packed clean vocals, therefore, allowing much diversity by applying elements from sludge doom, droning atmosphere, and arpeggio guitars. Ahab conveys its own trademarks which they proclaim as a Nautical funeral doom institution. Out today via Napalm Records!
The follow-up to ‘Mysterium I’ that was released earlier this year, ‘Mysterium II’ sees Dutch death doom legends Celestial Season take on a more funereal side. Out now via Burning World Records.
