Můra - Needle Cathedral [REVIEW]

Image
Můra's first EP made our 2021 top ten . Does this new offering stack up? It sure does. Out this coming Monday, on Doomentia/Caligari, Needle Cathedral is more of that righteous death-doom (with some black metal elements). There is a healthy balance between the slow groovy sections and the faster parts. Three tracks, twenty-one minutes ...and a thoroughly enjoyable listen from start to finish. You can hear the title track below, and pre-order a vinyl/cassette/digital copy  here . This Prague band is definitely one to watch, they show a lot of promise. Fingers crossed for a full-length in the not-too-distant future.

Rothadás - Töviskert... A Kísértés Örök Érzete... Lidércharang [Forthcoming Release]

Image
The first Rothadás album was high on our 2021 top ten list , and the demo before it was also great. This new full-length is out on 21st March, with Me Saco Un Ojo delivering the vinyl release and Pulverised handling the CD. Google Translate tells us that the (Hungarian) title translates to "Thorn Garden... The Eternal Sense Of Temptation... Nightmare Bell"; and that "Rothadás" means "Rot". ...which is appropriately uncheerful, given that these guys are a death-doom band. We can't wait for this one, anyway. Pre-orders go up tomorrow, and you can listen to a teaser track below. Töviskert... a kísértés örök érzete... lidércharang by Rothadás

Perishing - Lutum [REVIEW]

Image
Death-doom from Costa Rica here, courtesy of Morbid Chapel / Caligari . Something about this four track EP keeps pulling you back for more. The riffs are strong, the vocals are commanding, the drumming is vicious, the tempos are varied… The atmosphere is wretched, the delivery is unhinged, the production is ridiculously heavy... But any specific features aside, Lutum just has a special quality about it somehow. You can preview Perishing's punishing debut below.
