Review
Second
Sight is the new album from famed Instrumental Doom Metal Band –
Clouds Taste Satanic. This is also the band’s 2nd
album released this year. As the band released Evil Eye back in April
2019. This album continues with Post-Doom feeling heard on Evil Eye
but with a more classic style of Doom Rock/Metal being played with
it’s epic strands of Psych Rock, Space Rock and Stoner Metal.
Both
songs last 21 minutes each and they’re both sprawling epics that
bring back the heavy days of 70s Prog Rock and Spaced Out Jams. The
music is quite dense and captivating with the band moving at their
own steady pace. The swirling noises have a more dramatic effect and
even allow Clouds Taste Satanic to operate with a more Post-Metallic
delivery especially on the opening song Second Sight.
Clouds
Taste Satanic show you how exciting Instrumental Rock/Music can be
and move the genre into new exciting grounds that you just don’t
get with other Instrumental Doom/Stoner Metal bands. Clouds Taste
Satanic are clearly at the forefront of the genre now. The band know
when to bring the heavy riffs to the party and when to hold back
which helps build up an exciting atmosphere.
The
band weave an intriguing story for this album despite the lack of
vocals. With different sounds and grooves to show the next exciting
part of the story the album wholly contains.
The
band are more adventurous on this album with a more claustrophobic
style of music being added on certain parts of the album. The hazy
guitar tones are quite distorted in places and the album becomes a
more gloomier experience. This is perhaps the band’s most
experimental and diverse offering to date whilst still retaining
their trademark sound.
Second
Sight is an album not only you should listen to but one that you
should respect and admire for doings things differently and
succeeding on every level possible.
With
some bands just content releasing one album this year, Clouds Taste
Satanic had to stick a mighty UP YOURS to the world and release
another thrilling and exciting album. It doesn’t get any better
than this if you’re a fan of Instrumental Doom/Stoner Metal.
