Country : Bulgaria

Eleven Drops is a very interesting band from Bulgaria. Their style is Doom Death with melodic riffs, beautiful atmosphere, melancholic passages, depressive melodies, slow rhythm, deep grunts and some sad clean vocals. The A-Ha cover is magnificent, performed in a perfect Melodic Doom Death style with melancholic deep grunts. Highly recommended!!!

Recommended for fans of Saturnus, My Dying Bride, Elysium, The Slow Death, Mourning Beloveth...

Link Reuploaded!

This is the first Solstice's album. The British band plays a perfect style of Epic Doom Metal. Great clean vocals, very dense passages, excellent riffs and awesome atmospheres. The songs are perfectly arranged, and exhort a sort of medieval atmosphere to the listener. It's a magnificent album in this genre.
Highly recommended!!!
