From the ashes of loss comes a truly epic album. The despair in the music, the incredible vocals, and I always dig long songs. One of the most fan-focused bands there is. 🤘🐊
Favorite track: Absentia (Feat. Tim Yatras).
Kris Faust
Black/doom metal where the powerful and emotive vocal performance takes front and center. Atmospheric passages provide a vast canvas for the songs while the symphonic elements and piano add a cinematic impact to the sorrowful melodies. An album and band that should be talked about more.
Favorite track: Echoes Of Quiet Remain (Feat. Aaron Stainthorpe).
Funeral Fog
PHENOMENAL atmospheric blackened doom. Seriously dark melodies and a sound quality that must be heard (yes, it's that damn good). Easily a 5/5!

Mexican Black / Post-Black Metal. Some very interesting & definitely cavernous vocals that feel as though they are coming from beyond the grave & create a lovely atmosphere of decadence & death! One of the tracks is even fittingly called "Decay"... :) No faves! Thanks TOR & Kunal! Recommended!

That opening riff, that first scream 👌🏼
Seriously good album, don't sleep on it!
Favorite track: Serpentine Echoes.

Murky black metal that's claustrophobic yet expansive, with the doom and disso-DM twinges adding power to Muerto's poisonous bite. The album overall and Matamoros' vocals in particular sound like a hollow message from the heart of a yawning abyss just before it snaps shut forever.
Favorite track: Burning Shadows.
