From Germany comes the Traditional Doom ensemble Dreaming. Writing music does not seem to be a fast process in their studio, as they have been around as early as 1993 and only managed to release their second studio album "II" in 2006. Before the release of "II", the world also saw the release of a debut album, a live version of the debut album and a demo.
You'd expect they would come out with something gloriously original and droolicious after such a long time. You couldn't be more wrong, as these are the biggest Saint Vitus and Black Sabbath worshippers alive. The album itself isn't that bad actually, but I'd rather listen to the classics. Their fuzzy, mid-tempo riffs lean towards a more slow-paced tempo from time to time, and their old-school vocalist sings a bit too much through his nose for my liking, but overall he has a pretty good voice to go with it (and sometimes a funny accent). Every once in a while they'll have a groovy tune, and all in all this album is far from being bad.. it's just not good either.
If it would have been released twenty years ago, or would have some other kind of historical value, it would at least have meant something.. but seriously, why would anyone want to listen to any of this if he/she can also bang his head to Black Sabbath? This is only something for the true, hardcore, absolutely fanatic fan of the Doom genre, for the rest I'd deem this as rather superfluous.
