Album Reviews

The long-awaited studio album ‘Mendacium’ of the U.S. funeral doom masters Evoken delivers an absolute horror of the outer vale through monolithic and soul-crushing soundscapes. Out via Profound Lore Records on October 17th.

On this debut outing, the Portuguese quintet follows the subterranean path of the Finnish forefathers of funeral doom metal Thergothon.

‘Ashes Coalesce’ is full of these mysterious moments that make the sophomore strange yet beautiful.

U.K. based funeral doom metal band Esoteric returns after long years of hiatus. Their newest, 7thalbum, ‘A Pyrrhic Existence’, is a mammoth coalescence of funeral doom, death metal and experimental elements from progressive metal.

New Jersey’s finest purveyors of funerary doom, Evoken, have finally finished work on the follow up, “Hypnagogia”, a surrealistic concept album about the horrific desperation in the trenches of World War I, a fitting theme for a funeral doom album if there ever was one.

Festival Reports

On a nice warm Indian summer afternoon like this one it’s almost tempting fate to go to a funeral doom festival like Darken The Moon.
