Hailing from Massachusetts, my next door neighbor (well, relatively speaking, considering some of the other stuff I post here from Finland or what have you) released this magnificent demo tape in 1995. Quickly becoming one of my favorite bands, this is a beautiful combination of death, doom, melody and a variety of other things. Quite an eclectic release, it's mostly Doom/Death with an emphasis on DOOOOOOM, utilizing mainly raspy death growls, but also including a very melodic and beautiful female vocalist. Some of the riffs can be very melodic and compelling, making this one of the best releases in the Doom/Death genre.
In addition to the above, other instruments are used on occasion such as a cello/violin and keyboards. These guys had a vision in the creation of this demo and their musical talent is shining through, blindingly bright.
I listen to the demo and I think that it's brilliant, but there is something that puzzled me enough. The growlings seem to be same of a technical death metal band that till now I have not found the name. Alone I have listened to 3 or 4 tracks of this band and I have them recorded in a tape that I acquired in the middle of 1995. I really would be grateful for you if you know which band or album is.
ReplyDeleteIn advance thank you. Excellent blog.
