Review
Evil
Eye is the 5th
album from famed Doom Metal Instrumentalists – Clouds Taste
Satanic- This time the band return with a heavier and more
psychedelic offering compared to their earlier releases. The band
offer two songs both running for about 20 minutes each. You can
expect to hear the great heavy doomed out sounds that Clouds Taste
Satanic are known for. However, expect a more rigid and progressive
approach to their music with the band taking their time bring the
heavy thunderous riffs to the party.
First
song – Evil Eye – has a
stripped back approach with the mood being very direct though this
allows the band to slowly bring in many different layers of
Psychedelic Doom Metal twinned with elements of Hard Rock, Classic
Rock and Stoner Metal for a gloomy and out of body experience. This
is the type of song that demands your full undivided attention. The
slow-paced parts of the song are quite gloomy and sees the band play
a more nuanced style of music.
Second
song – Pagan Worship – lives up to it’s DOOM based title with
the band creating some of their heaviest DOOM METAL riffs on this
song. The song is deliriously fast-paced and angry throughout.
Perhaps the most pissed off I’ve heard Clouds Taste Satanic been
yet and that’s saying something to describe these guys. The
down-tempo and gloomy riffs have a slightly depressing and darkened
edge to them but that’s what makes this album so good. Clouds Taste
Satanic are not afraid to venture into the darkest depths of DOOM
METAL that you don’t hear from similar Instrumental Doom Metal
bands.
Evil
Eye is one of the best albums that Cloud Tastes Satanic have released
to date. You would think after 5 albums the band would start to lose
their hunger for creating new sounds. NOPE. Evil Eye feels like
Clouds Taste Satanic are only getting started and the Doom/Stoner
Metal audience is theirs for the taking.
The
production is superb and allows Cloud Tastes Satanic music to be
frighteningly too real at times. Overall, Clouds Taste Satanic have
created a FUCKING MONSTER with this album.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
