Lone

by OAK

supported by

Sælzer Bub one of the best death doom bands so far. great melodies with great atmospheres. mostly slow, heavy and doomy but sometimes there are these groovy double-bass drum moments wich are pretty fucking cool. if you like death doom and melodic atmospheric black metal, this is for you.

Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) thumbnail

Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) OAK are some of the best death/doom folks you can find, and this album only cements that. An essential album of the genre for me. Favorite track: Mirror.

Jody B. Excellent death/doom from members of the killer black metal band Gaerea. Majestic,melancholic and crushing compositions full of peaks and valleys that takes you on a wonderful journey as the music unfolds. Amazing cover art by Paolo Girardi. Favorite track: Mirror.

about

Members of GAEREA churn out scintillating death/doom metal that's expansive and harrowing. 'Lone' is their debut full length and yet the songwriting is accomplished, as if this is what they were meant to be doing all along. There's nothing forced here - the music oscillates between the pensive, slow parts to the cathartic, faster ones with relative ease, almost intuitively. The texture of the music does full justice to it all, enhancing the feelings of despair, helplessness and fear, while the Paolo Girardi painting captures the mood perfectly. This is one of the most anticipated releases in the death/doom spectrum and fans wouldn't be disappointed in the least.

The Death of Gaia
by OFFICIUM TRISTE

An absolutely amazing album that reaches you to the bottom of the abyss. Gaia takes you by the hand, tells you that you're not alone in this, the pain is over, the misunderstanding of your pain is over and accompanied by keyboards, violins, acoustic guitars, cello and amazing vocals, she pulls you out of the disgusting mire of your mind and together you embark on a journey of melancholy, despondency, hope, pessimism and the seasons. tenebriscaedes

Ponderous Sludge/Doom from the Portuguese speaking section of the Amazon. It's heavy, crushing, and single-minded. And surprisingly dark for a sludge release. The satanic Hispanics are at it again. Ghuughra
