Dream Unending – Song of Salvation (Review)

Song of Salvation contains 44 minutes of atmospheric death/doom metal.

Aphonic Threnody – The Loneliest Walk (Review)

Aphonic Threnody - The Loneliest WalkAphonic Threnody are an international funeral doom band and this is their fifth album.

I like Aphonic Threnody a great deal, and really enjoyed last year’s The All Consuming Void, (also check out Of Loss and Grief and The Great Hatred). So, imagine my surprise when I saw that the band had a new album coming out so soon after the last one.

Having enjoyed 2017’s Of Loss and Grief, and knowing that the band features members of Arrant Saudade, Towards Atlantis Lights, and Dea Marica, as soon as I saw The Great Hatred appear I knew I had to spend some time absorbing its dark doomy delights.

Aphonic Threnody – Of Loss and Grief (Review)

Featuring members of Arrant Saudade, Towards Atlantis Lights, and Dea Marica, and with guests from many other bands, including Alunah, Mournful Congregation, and My Shameful, before you even press play it seems apparent that there’s little chance of Of Loss and Grief falling flat on its face.
