FÓRN: DEATH DOOM DANCE REVIEW ‘Repercussions of the Self’

I am moving to the new FÓRN album ‘Repercussions of the Self’ released October 18 via Persistent Vision. Doom hasn’t bowled me over like this in years. The atmospheric funeral sound is massive, and the electronic elements are a welcome touch. Track 5 “Regrets Abyss,” in particular, has its grip on my core. Allow me to demonstrate!

FUNERAL LEECH: DEATH DOOM DANCE REVIEW ‘The Illusion of Time’

My April album of the month is FUNERAL LEECH ‘The Illusion of Time’ whose mid-tempo double kick death doom hits in all the right places. And when thos synths drop on top of their already grueling sound, prepare for an out-of-body experience. Allow me to demonstrate!
