We all miss the glory days of Greek black metal, and members of Rotting Christ, Emperor, Necromantia, and Electric Wizard are bringing it back with a new slower and more resonant form of metal that aims for ritual atmosphere.
Where this shines above the norm these days is that the song holds together not just as a composition, but in how its parts are calibrated to complement each other in rhythm and tone, producing an immersive experience.
Like Varathron more than Necromantia, it aims for a form of heavy metal that absorbs the gothic and noise approaches to music into a slow-stalking descent which keeps a NWOBHM feel in the mindset of a subterranean seance.

Electric Wizard in that bunch is the most random inclusion I think I’ve ever seen. It’s like a band having members of Grotesque, Sacramentum, Sentenced, and Zakk Wylde.
“Featuring members of Deicide, Incantation, Von, and ABBA!”
Stoner doom sucks so much.
I want to drain all the water from bodies of the members of electric wizard and bath in it.
Dopethrone is a good album
There are better and worse.
But i dont like the genre at all…
Me neither, that’s the only one. I’ve never bothered with their other stuff. Boring fucking genre
Electric Wizard were originally a death metal band I do remember. I have 2500 albums on CD and LP and I don’t want to hear any new music, I got all the Brett approved classics then other good shit you find on your own. Enuff Znuff at some point, when I’m just going to listen 83-93 stuff every single time, no need to bother. I think coming up almost 20 years the only good modern dm band is Dead Congregation, and Disma as well. That was it. Sure I missed something but I don’t care. There needs to be modern metal related murders in defense of the true against posers, it’s a target rich environment these days, and they’re so docile and baby fat soft,, and do their mean work through internet crying. Not that I condone that, that’s the plot of an episode of CSI erotic fan fiction I’m writing, which ends in Juggalos giving the micro penised vocalist of Frozen Soul a blowjob while rubbing cake on his hairy tits. I do want Fred Durst to come out at the end and say “you know I always been down wit da clown” while rubbing his erect swollen wee wee head against Shaggy 2 Dope’s innocent wet lips that hang open like a confused cherub.
The time for a poser cleansing is well overdue!
Wacken 2027 cancelled!
The Ruins of beverast and Barbarian Swords are fine purveyors of black doom metal.
ABBA has some great songs!! Not like that latest band who sounds worse than Total Death era DarkThrone……
Why not just grab this juicy Absu first album remaster instead. I always thought the production was rather undertuned, but now it has the potential to be among the greats… and with that said, it’s the only Absu album you need, as it’s now up there with Imprecation, Grotesque and Incantation. Grab it up while it’s hot, cause I’m not reuploading it again.

I hope this album will sound as if recorded in a cave in hell or purgatory.
