Thanx to Pim Blankenstein for catching the attention, via FB, on this awesome new band that is CHURCHBURN... This is fresh and burning at the same time !!! The new project of Dave Suzuki (ex VITAL REMAINS, here on guitar and vocals) and Ray Mc Caffrey (Sin Of Angels, and ex GRIEF, on drums and vocals)...
I felt immediately the same as Pim certainly : this needs to be shared right away !!! Shit, this sounds so fucking HEAVY and mindblowing...
Sure if you like it slow and low but only classically DOOM, then I doubt this is for you ; but if you dig it also brutal and evil, meaning a pretty solid and complete mix of black, sludge, doom with a slight pinch of death metal for the good form... then this band is for you !!!
In terms of brutality I think those guys perfectly know their affair, this is measured reasonably here though, but what I like very much is that here they really seem to achieve what they were looking for in terms of hauntingness and evilized wickedness all mixed together.
The overall is based on menacing and hellish mid-tempos and the long "Come Forth the Swarm" (1st video below) includes an amazing solo by Dave Suzuki which not only lets remind that this guy did some good things for and with Vital Remains, but is far more melodic, slightly progressive and epic than what he did before (at least with them). That's a good point to create a surprising relief full of twirling melodies, before an end that brings you again nearby the gates of hell !
This said, I'm sure that those appetizers announce a masterful album that will be one of this year's winners, watch out for CHURCHBURN...
