This is the debut album from Ornamentos del Miedo, a one man funeral doom band from Spain.
Here we have 62 minutes of atmospheric funeral doom. It’s slow, heavy, and played with an obvious love for the style. Continue reading

Heathe – On the Tombstones; the Symbols Engraved (Review)
This is the debut album from Heathe, a blackened doom/drone project from Denmark.
Apparently created by a core of one person who was then aided and abetted by multiple others, this band have crafted here a single 38-minute track named On the Tombstones. It has apparently been recorded live, with a structure enhanced by improvisation in places, which is probably why the music feels so vibrant, albeit in a bleak, nihilistic ways. Continue reading
Chalice of Suffering – Lost Eternally (Review)
This is the second album from US funeral doom band Chalice of Suffering.
2016’s For You I Die was an album I enjoyed, so it’s very agreeable to have a new slab of torment from the band. And what a considerable slab of torment and suffering it is too. Continue reading
Illimitable Dolor – Leaden Light (Review)
Illimitable Dolor are from Australia, and play atmospheric death/doom metal.
Following on from their split with Promethean Misery, I was keen to hear more from Illimitable Dolor. Well, now is that opportunity; Leaden Light contains 52 minutes of material, carved into five exquisite slices. Continue reading
Abyssic – High the Memory (Review)
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
Coltsblood/Un- Split (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
Monolithe – From Equinox to Solstice – Live at Beltane (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
Maestus – Deliquesce (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
Pissboiler – Att Med Kniv Ta En Kristens Liv (Review)
Pissboiler are a Swedish doom band, and this is their latest EP.
I won’t deny that I’ve been really looking forward to hearing this one. Ever since I was subjected to the sheer aural horror of 2017’s In the Lair of Lucid Nightmares, I’ve craved more of Pissboiler’s filth and disease to swamp myself in. Well, Continue reading
Skullcrush – Visions of the Firestorm Eclipse (Review)
This is an EP from Skullcrush, a death metal band from the US.
Containing a mixture of different gruesome ingredients, you can hear Suffocation, Bolt Thrower, and even a touch of old Amorphis in Skullcrush’s sound. Across the 22 minutes on this EP the band combine these influences and more into a ghastly blend of grim, dirty death metal. Continue reading
