Turns out the slow gurgling vocals of caverncore work just as well when slowed down on some funeral doom. Read more ›› |

By a large margin best funeral doom I've heard this year and I can't believe that this is their debut. The vocals are insane, can't get enough of the gurgling throat singing (?) of "Stygian III". Funeral doom AOTY thus far.

Written by Starvynth on 23.08.2020 at 15:07 Cheers for the inadvertent suggestion. And to think I'd miss something great coming out of Quebec. Shame on me.

Written by Starvynth on 23.08.2020 at 15:07 I've just started listening to it, and that opening gargle a minute into the first track is quite something

Written by Tornado Of Souls on 29.08.2020 at 01:12 I'm listening to Chthe'ilist's Le Dernier Crépuscule right now and I can indeed confirm a striking resemblance to Demilich... Thanks for the rec!

I think it's fine. Didn't blow me away like it seemed to have most others. But maybe I'm just too busy and depressed rn for it. Though tbh that's prime funeral doom mood and if it can't capture that... Seems a bit by the numbers and not too emotional

Written by DeliciousDishes on 08.09.2020 at 22:14 I'm with you there. I think it's a really good album but not quite deserving of some of the hype it's getting online. Its greatest strength is its atmosphere but lacks variation in the riff department, even with the piano usage and pace change.

Oh man, this is just too good to be real. From the beginning you know you're in for a ride.
