Album Reviews
The profound experience of Crypt Sermon in approaching doom metal. Between the thin lines of Candlemass and Solitude Aeternus the band craft their musical creativity.
Japanese grave robbbers Coffins bring the doom once more on a long overdue new full-length ‘Beyond the Circular Demise’.
On their way to the Carpathians Italian master of the macabre Abhor and Abysmal Grief stopped for a curious split out now via Iron Bonehead.
Canadian power doomster Smoulder release their epic debut on Cruz Del Sur Music.
In 2018 The hellish intronauts of Oranssi Pazuzu and Dark Buddha Rising came together for a one off event, commissioned for the Roadburn Festival, ingeniously monikered The Waste of Space Orchestra. Syntheosis is the studio interpretation of that psychotropic interdimensional journey.
In case you missed out on the original birth death doom as a genre or are just feeling a bit nostalgic, have a listen to Asphodelus’ “Stygian Dreams” which takes you back to the mythical times of the early nineties
Pulchra Morte blends the melodies with aggression and they do it with quality.
‘The Door To Doom’ is an amazing executed epic doom metal record. Candlemass is keeping you bewitched from start to finished with heavy riffs, pounding drums and astounding composition and the return of Johan Längquist.
With a moniker like The Sabbathian you’d almost be disappointed if the band didn’t display some serious hero worship at the altar of Iommi, yet it’s not quite so retro as you might think. This dynamic duo mixes in a lot of unexpected twists and turns, from Burzumesque guitar hissing to a duet with Liv Kristine.
Whereas the previous two records had a dynamic interplay between up tempo rockers and slow burners, When The World Becomes undone’ mostly focuses on slow tracks , not unlike the similarly monikered World Coming Down did, after the easier on the ear tunes of October Rust.
