The Mist of Avalon/ Here and After

A technical instrumental death metal / grind (?) band: Pound



A short release and it doesn't really matter which song you listen to, but I liked: The 5th (slow) song and the last bit of the 6th one.

It's just drums and a 9-string guitar. They do slow down and it can get extremely heavy. Actually reminded me of the poserific djent battle of '19


Earlier I had a listen to:

Obed Marsh - Innsmouth (Australian fish people doom)
Primitive Man - Futility+Untitled (sludge)
Noose Rot - The Creeping Unknown (OSDM)
Vainoras and the altar of the drill - Live,Love,Doomjazz (bohren-like dark jazz)

Green Carnation - Leaves Of Yesteryear

Massive and epic Funeral Doom: Convocation's second release is soon out and so far, it sounds tremendous. The break at 8' is beautiful. Really looking forward to it!

Ps: Djent is totally regressive, it's fun for 2 minutes. Then you get hold of yourself and it just becomes a sickening soup .

Tel - Lowlife
Cultic - High Command
Barren Altar - Maithuna
Bestialord - Law of the Burning

________
Tel and Barren Altar kicked my ass.

Kauan - Kaiho

well, that track is not funeral doom and I find it rather pedestrian...

Is that so?

it reminds me of a mix between Longing for Dawn for the despondency and Towards Antlantis Lights for the epic, lyrical side, all this but grittier.

yeah, ok, the style would be "extreme atmo death doom", something like that?

that's better...

Obscure melodic funerary death doom reaking the damp cellar. It's slow, atmo, with a bizarre twist:

Bog body - Through the Burial Bog (groovy guitarless death metal, slighty noisy, sludge vocals):




I recommend this as well. Used to follow this guy on BC. He does help getting people into the good stuff, but he buys so much stoner stuff.

Usnea - Random Cosmic Violence

Morgion - Solinari

Good album. I've been mostly listening to my demos.

The 20 minute preview track from a Romanian funeral doom band. So far, very melodic and listenable. Lots of synths and good grunts.

Descend into Despair - Opium

Massive progress compared to the previous one. This band has started with a very interesting demo, but eventually produced very mediocre music. This new album sounds like a rebirth, it's quite terrific. Looking forward to the rest of it.

The Cure - Galore

I keep listening to this epic 22' track by Descent into Despair. A wonderful journey, I hardly hear the same band.

Now I'll carefully listen to their previous one, Synaptic veil; I'm started to think I missed soemthing...

If you take away the awful clean vocals by Kostas on the first track, Synaptic Veil is quite good and I also liked the debut...

It's rather true; the last two tracks especially are good. It's a band that's worth more than I thought; just that their progressive songwriting sits on the fence between clumsiness and just above good: it still never touches the brilliance of their new track.
