Review
The
Haunting is Doors To No Where 3rd album and it' my first
exposure to the band. The band play a style of aggressive Punk,
Desert Rock, Grunge and Stoner Rock kind of sound. It's quite a
highly enjoyable album from start to finish though it's a very raw
sounding album. The band manage to create some intriguing riffs
throughout the entire album.
Doors
To No Where will appeal to fans of Queens Of The Stone Age the most.
As the band have a similar sound though with a broader doomier
atmosphere. The vocals are handled very well from the start though
it's the music that impress the most. Doors To No Where keep the mood
vibrant and fresh especially when they change the tone of the album.
Doors
To No Where have been together as a band since 2011 and with this
being their 3rd album I'm surprised I have never came
across them before. Better late than never. The Haunting has moments
of classic 90s sounding grunge especially with the vocals. If I had
to choose a few track for new listeners to check out then I would
recommend Burn, Give Me and Who Died & Made You King?. As those
tracks are where the band impress the most playing with extreme
confidence.
As
I've stated before it's a very raw sounding album. Maybe the band
could have spent more time on the overall production of the album.
Apart from that minor complaint, The Haunting is a very good album
indeed. I may need to listen to their other albums as I'm highly
impressed by these guys. Maybe when the band release future albums we
can truly see if Doors To No Where are on the road to somewhere
special. Until then – PLAY THIS ALBUM LOUD!!!
