BLACK DEPTHS GREY WAVES - Nightmare Of The Blackened Heart CD (digipak)

Four long tracks of awesome and epic doom - since the self-titled debut Fatum Elisum have progressed and matured, and have now forged their own style of doom - albeit with a healthy reference to the early 90s sounds of Cathedral, Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride. A thoughtful and melancholic album - with a stunning vocal display from Ende. Quality recording and great artwork - highly recommended album.

This is the debut 2009 CD - "Fatum Elisum" - from awesome new French act - FATUM ELISUM......

Formed in 2007 this is the debut album from this excellent act - creating some of the finest doom death metal but with a dark, mystical, melancholic and sinister edge... Great musicianship and compositions - a dark aura permeating their doomful melodies. Inspired by the early doom death metal scene - with no keyboards or female vocals - with a twisted dark metal edge.

Of relevance to people interested by bands such as My Dying Bride, Anathema, Evoken, Esoteric, Mournful Congregation, Silencer, Bethlehem, Ataraxie, indesinence - with lyrics inspired by dark literary classics. FATUM ELISUM are well worth your attention - and promise to be one of the best underground doom bands in future years.

An excellent CD - six tracks and over 50 minutes of music

Bleak death industrial ambient for the fearless, a dark initiation co-existing with lo-fi noise and raw black metal visitations - an eclectic diversion of auditory dissonance and dissidence. Features members of Karna, Sickrites, Baal Zebuth, Cyber Baphomet etc. A true underground and occult aura surrounds this act of darkness. Highly anticipated...

Third album from French dark electro act Haiku Funeral. An innovative, exciting and twisted nightmare. Haiku Funeral generate an atmosphere of black, bleak, ironic paradox. Cold industrial ambiance meets darkwave experimentation, liberally seasoned with death/doom and driven by the twin engines of pulsing, virtuoso bass and hoarse, snarling, savagely crazed voice. Horrifying imagery of death, madness and godless depravity, developing the musical themes to new levels of maturity and subversiveness. Whilst the listener is drawn in like a moth to a flame, by the appealing rhythms and textures of post-everything avant-garde, the darkest of messages is being whispered direct to their cortex.

The punishing new album from excellent UK doom act. Atmospheric, discordant and bludgeoning extreme doom, centred on themes of vision, madness and self-destruction. Heavy rhythmic doom intertwined with deathly sludge and atmospheric ambience. This release coincides with the recent UK tour with Faal. A doom behemoth, mastered by James Plotkin.

4th album from Aussie extreme death doom act THE NIHILISTIC FRONT. Looking and sounding awesome and brutal - expect some punishing extreme death doom in the vein of early INCANTATION, DISEMBOWELMENT, ENCOFFINATION.

A tale highlighting the continuous decay of the human race. Extreme raw, soul-shattering, hateful and experimental funeral doom-death - bowel-churning grim doom, not for the fainthearted. Features collaboration from members of Uncertainty Principle (UK), Torture Wheel (USA) & Until Death Overtakes Me (BEL).

For fans of EVOKEN, ESOTERIC, ENCOFFINATION!

The debut album from Sweden's Walk Through Fire. Heavy, claustrophobic, crusty doom sludge. In the vein of Neurosis, Eyehategod. A great release which points towards a promising future for this band.

The third album from Sweden's Walk Through Fire. Destructively heavy droning doom metal influenced by NEUROSIS, EYEHATEGOD, DEATHSPELL OMEGA, DYSTOPIA, CROWBAR.
