SHAPE OF DESPAIR

Release Year: 2015
Artist Origin: FIN
Style: heavy oppressing atmospheric doom metal

yes, doom metal musicians from the northern hemisphere might be slower in some situations, but even if so, eleven year crisis between the full-length albums is quite unbelievable: good news it is finally over - historical Finnish entity is ready to shut the mouths up with this massive, convincingly heavy, and magically capturing achievement, devotedly dedicated to ultimately gloomy genre, nonetheless filled to the bottom with charming atmosphere and sweeping melancholy; juxtaposing the rough and the mystic, they reach a stunning state of compositional nirvana, haunting listeners with dueling vocals and immense power of instruments - if there is a top-notch album to set on a depressive mood lately, it is definitely coming from these lads; third pressing of gatefold sleeve double black vinyl edition with Written in My Scars bonus is limited to 300 units
