PENTAGRAM

doom or be DOOMED!

A pesar de ser distribuido por Peaceville en 1993, este álbum fue originalmente lanzado por "Pentagram Records" (independientemente) de vuelta en 1985

Starting out with a less original death metal sound on their first 7", Skepticism soon began to develop its own sound, a combination of slow doom metal and death metal with prolific use of keyboards, especially the organ. This style was first represented on the Aeothe Kaear demo from 1994, which was still up-tempo, compared to the material that was to follow. The debut album Stormcrowfleet took that style a step further, consisting of six long tracks with an average length of nearly ten minutes.

After this, the band released its first 'pair', an EP and album which are thematically connected. A touch less dark in sound, but more abstract in lyrics, Ethere and Lead and Aether are perhaps the best known Skepticism albums, especially for the track 'The March and the Stream', which appears in a different version on both releases, and which is considered by some to be one of the most depressing doom metal songs ever recorded.

In 1999, Aes was released, a one-track EP lasting almost 28 minutes, and an exercise in style for the band. Aes proves that Skepticism is capable of writing extremely long, flowing songs, that still manage to stay interesting and captivating. A variety of musical themes is explored before the song turns back upon itself and returns to the theme that it started with.

The bands latest releases were contained in the second 'pair', The Process of Farmakon (2002) and Farmakon (2003). These releases showcase a slight departure from the earlier material, by introducing elements of dissonance and experimentation in the otherwise consistent style.

MY DYING BRIDE - GOD IS ALONE

My Dying Bride is one of the most influential bands in the doom/death metal scene (and not only); may I say doom/death itself? Formed back in 1990 by Calvin, Aaron, Andy and Rick and having already released two demos ("Towards the sinister" and "God is alone") and an interesting EP ("Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium") they release during 1992 their long-awaited debut album "As the flower withers". Pure doom/death metal with death metal outbursts and Aaron being an utterly descriptive interpreter, inspiration, intense poetic lyrics with a sense of mourning romanticism and a dark wailing atmosphere consist of this wonderful debut album leaving behind a bitter taste of a dying bride, My Dying Bride…

My Dying Bride es una de las bandas más influyentes en la escena doom/death metal (y no sólamente en ella); podría decir en el doom/death en sí? Remontándonos hasta 1990 cuando esta banda fue formada en un bar inglés por Calvin, Aaron, Andy y Rick y ya habiendo lanzado dos demos ("Towards the sinister" y "God is alone") y un interesante EP ("Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium") lanzaron en 1992 su tan esperado álbum debut "As the flower withers"...

WORSHIP - LAST CD BEFORE DOOMSDAY

DESCARGA

THERGOTHON - STREAM FROM THE HEAVENS

If there is one band on earth that can top (or should I say dive?) the Finnish band Skepticism in slowness, it must be their compatriots of Thergothon. Hardly ever can one hear music as slow, brutal, heavy and utterly depressing as in this album. It deserves entirely the label "genre classic". Every single second with this album playing, tears the listener up between the most negative feelings one can have.

Sadness, despair, pure misery and suffering, this is what this album is about and it is one of the best attempts ever to convert those emotions into music. You have no idea how long two seconds can last if that is the period of time you have to wait before you hear the drummer hit his drums another time. With an average of 7 minutes per song, you can easily call these tracks 'Everlasting', which is also the name of the first track. We can also find the song 'Yet the Watchers Guard' and 'Elemental' on this album again (both songs that are also featured on their demo 'Fhtagn-nagh Yog-Sothoth'). Another great song on this album is called 'Who Rides the Astral Wings', that has great double vocals.
