SOMNAE – Forever More CDEP
Self Released
Even though this Seattle band is following a path that is littered with crater size footprints from the Death Doom genre giants of the past, this release shows that second hand is still pretty cool. I take that back since the three cuts on here, which is essentially their demo, are just a heavy handed knock on the door to greatness. Yeah everyone knows I’m guilty of hyperbole but in most cases I’m right and others are so miserably wrong. I say keep an eye and an ear out for this band in the near future especially if you take your Death Doom seriously with your Earl Grey in the afternoon. Yes I’m talking to you across the pond, the former landlords of these colonies. Wait till this band decides to unleash a full length of melodic yet downtuned Death Doom with grunted vocals that sound like they’re being sung from a resident of an old growth forest. On that fateful day you’ll be sitting casually in your parlors with your tea and crumpets. Suddenly your ex-patriot yank butler will take out the worn PARADISE LOST dink you’ve been playing since the vinyl copy has warped and drop SOMNAE in by surprise. “Oh bloody hell”, you’ll scream, “its 1812 all over again. Those yank bastards!” You have been warned.
