Review
70s
Psychedelic Doom Rockers – Doomicidal – finally release their
epic new album Shadow Of The Gallows and it’s gloriously theatrical
and OTT as you would expect. The strange and wonderful vocals from
Migo is what gives Doomicidal their trippy and psychedelic vibe. If
you’re a fan of traditional Doom Metal Bands then these guys will be music to your ears.
The
album is a weird kaleidoscope of different styles of Doom Metal with
shades of Stoner Rock, Psych Rock and Classic Rock attitude making
an appearance here and there. It may take a few listens to fully
appreciate how good this album actually is. As there is a lot going
on within Doomicidal’s music and overall theme of the album.
Songs
such as: Hengewitch, Rats In The Wall and Hangman – are the first 3
opening songs that prove how strange and very surreal Doomicidal
actually are. These guys aren’t your average Doom Metal band and
that what makes them so damn good. The music can be too clever for
it’s own good at times but it’s addictive and fresh for a Doom
Metal album.
The
production is good whilst retaining a classic and organic sound which
Doomicidal used to their advantage. So expect a loud sounding album
when the heavy riffs appear. Other great songs to check out are: War
Crimes, Autumn and the excellent Murdermaids which is perhaps the
standout song on the album.
Shadow
Of The Gallows is a superbly entertaining album and one that will
make you a fan of Doomicidal in no time at all. If you’re looking
for a new band to worship and take over your soul then you’ve come
to the right place.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
