Death/Doom, Funeral Doom
Avernus made waves with their second demo Sadness in 1994. The music is incredibly heavy, slow and crushing doom/death with powerhouse vocalist Rick McCoy at the helm. The band's signature is in the guitar synth and occasional keyboards they've employed off and on throughout the years. By the time they made their first album they were no longer doom. Opting instead for a more polished, light and accessible Gothic metal sound. They've since come full circle meddling in funeral and Gothic/doom/death. Any fan of the Peaceville, and Officium Triste should find something of great interest here. |
