Isole - Silent Ruins (2009)

Genre : Epic Doom Metal
Country : Sweden

'Silent Ruins' is the fourth album from Isole, it's excellent Epic Doom and one of the best releases of this year. Their style is very similar to 'Bliss of Solitude', and contains awesome tracks, with melodic riffs, acoustic passages, rhythm changes, guitar solos, heavy melodies, some blast drums, and perfect vocals. The vocal style is awesome, the choirs are emotional singings, completed by some guttural vocals in the first track and especially in the last track.

The surprise : In the last track 'Dark Clouds' the band explores walloping, playing funereal melodies towards the end of the track. The last 6 minutes of the album are Funeral Doom with slow melodies, darkness atmosphere and powerful grunts.

This album is highly recommended for all Doomster!... Really, I recommend you purchase this album, you won't be wrong!!!

Awesome third album of this funereal band. The band plays Funeral Doom with Doom Death moments, mounful guitars, melodic riffs, sorrowful violins, melancholic keyboards/piano, classical arrangements, depressive melodies, beautiful passages, crushing moments, powerful grunts and some clean vocals.

Depressed Mode - ...For Death (2009)

Genre : Symphonic Death (Doom)?
Country : Finland

I am very angry with this band, their first album is awesome, but this album is other stuff, very symphonic, with many keyboards, blast drums and brutal passages, with a little bit of Doom influences. The only good is the female vocals. This album is not bad, but is not Doom Metal for me, except for the last track.

The label Firedoom/Firebox is the killer of Doom bands, this is the death of Depressed Mode in the Doom Metal genre!...
.
The label Firebox sells this CD like Symphonic Death Doom, I don't trust in the labels, for this motive it's better listen before buying... This is Symphonic Metal stuff with diverse influences! I don't recommend purchase this album, if you don't like Symphonic Metal!

Send your comments about this album. Is good album for you?... It's Doom Metal?... It's a bad album?

My Dying Bride - For Lies I Sire (2009)

Genre : Melodic Doom/Death Doom
Country : England

This is the awaited tenth album of the pioneers of Death Doom. In this album the band plays Melodic Doom on 8 tracks, and extreme Doom Death on 1, remembered me 'The Return of the Beautiful'!

The guitars are magnificent, with melodic riffs trademark of the band, ultra-heavy moments, and rhythm changes; accompanied by amazing violins, and sorrowful keyboards. The Aaron's vocals are fantastic with diverse clean styles and brutal Death grunts in the 8th track! This album is highly recommended!!!

...My Dying Bride always will be the best Doom Metal band!
