Coldfells – Coldfells (Review)
Coldfells are a blackened doom band from the US. This is their debut album.
This is a blackened doom release that really does blur the line between the two styles. Is this doom metal with a distinctly blackened feel to it, or is this black metal with a doom metal veneer? Possibly more the latter than the former, but either way, the Continue reading “Coldfells – Coldfells (Review)”
