Review
Famed
Instrumental Doom/Stoner Metallers – BelzebonG –
released their new album Light The Dankness unannounced on Halloween
and I’ve finally found the time to review the album. This is my
favourite album from BelzebonG as
they return with another round of Heavy Psychedelic Doom/Stoner Metal
with a healthy influence of WEEDIAN vibes.
The
album contains four songs that continues the band’s already winning
formula of heavy instrumental Doom/Stoner Metal that has some creepy
soundbytes thrown in for good measure. The first two songs – The
Bong of Eternal Stench and
Pot Fiend
– are your usual
BelzebonG standard fare. Heavy and epic progressive Doom/Stoner sounds that
have an atmospheric gloomy vibe to them. The music is down-tuned for
the most part as the band soon settle down to a clever and
progressive rhythm.
The
band impress more on the second half of the album with songs
Doperganger
and Roached Earth
Song Names Later having a more experimental and heavier sound. The
standout song is the final song as the band opt for a more Spaced Out
Sound and it’s something we haven’t heard from the band before.
This is one of the best songs that the band have written to date. As
it drifts from heavy atmospheric doom and gloom based sounds to the
more surreal trippier Psych Stoner Metal parts of the album.
Another
highlight of the album is the dark humour that the band tell through
the creepy soundbytes that appear throughout the album. The album
only runs for thirty five minutes or so but the band don’t waste a
single second. As they deliver their heaviest and most confident
album to date.
Light
The Dankness proves why BelzebonG are
one of Poland’s finest
Doom/Stoner
Metal bands currently around today. This is the best instrumental
album of the year for me and will end up as one of my best albums of
the year as a result.
