This is the second album from Norwegian symphonic death/doom band Abyssic.
Ever since listening to and loving the band’s debut album A Winter’s Tale that was released in 2016, I’ve been hungry for more Abyssic. Well, it’s finally here, and it’s a monster. Continue reading “Abyssic – High the Memory (Review)”
This is a split between two US doom outfits, Primitive Man and Hell.
My love for and enjoyment of Primitive Man will be familiar to readers of this site. Suffice to say that I consider them to be one of the best purveyors of ugly, apocalyptic sludge/doom that there is. Continue reading “Primitive Man/Hell – Split (Review)”
Dead Witches are a doom metal band form the UK and this is their second album.
Following on from 2017’s Ouija, this new releases contains 41 minutes of occult doom metal. Continue reading “Dead Witches – The Final Exorcism (Review)”
Coltsblood and Un are both doom bands and have teamed up for this split release. The former are from the UK and the latter the US.
I’n unfamiliar with Coltsblood’s work prior to this split, but I certainly intend to rectify this after listening to Snows of the Winter Realm. Continue reading “Coltsblood/Un- Split (Review)”
Monolithe are a French doom metal band and this is a live recording of a private show on May 6th, 2018 at les Feux de Beltane in Brittany, France.
I’m not really one for live albums, (although I certainly do enjoy them from time to time), but I’m a big Monolithe fan, so decided this was one definitely worth checking out. Continue reading “Monolithe – From Equinox to Solstice – Live at Beltane (Review)”
This is the third album from Belgian sludge/doom metal band Oldd Wvrms.
The follow up to 2016’s Ignobilis, Oldd Wvrms have returned with a new 54 minutes of material. Continue reading “Oldd Wvrms – Codex Tenebris (Review)”
Endon are a Japanese experimental post-hardcore band and this is their third album.
Holy crap, what the Hell is this? I looove it when you stumble blindly upon something as unexpectedly individual as this, especially when it’s done so well. Done poorly, this would be unlistenable nonsense, (and I’m sure there are some that would regard this as such), but Endon have a talent, it seems, for producing unusual, non-easy Continue reading “Endon – Boy Meets Girl (Review)”
Illimitable Dolor and Promethean Misery are both from Australia, and both play variants of doom metal.
This is my first experience of Illimitable Dolor, which is a shame, as they come highly recommended, (and also feature members of the very enjoyable funeral doom band The Slow Death), but I’ve never heard them before this. Here they offer us two tracks, clocking in at 26 minutes in total. Continue reading “Illimitable Dolor/Promethean Misery – Split (Review)”
This is the second album from Maestus, a blackened doom band from the US.
Looking for a doom record that has epic-length songs and music that’s crushing, while also boasting a surprisingly delicate touch in places? Look no further. Continue reading “Maestus – Deliquesce (Review)”
Depleted is a one man death/doom band from the US and this is his debut demo.
Brought to us by a member of the rabidly aggressive Maltheist, Depleted is a different proposition, but no less nasty in intent. Continue reading “Depleted – Conjurations of Void (Review)”
