CHURCH OF MISERY

Release Year: 2016
Artist Origin: JPN
Style: heavy ominous psychedelic doom metal

ultimately oppressive album by psychedelic doom metal purveyors is another spontaneous outburst of sludgy creativity, since founding bass player Tatsu Mikami was left alone, eventually adding up an American line-up with extreme metal underground legend Scott Carlson [Repulsion, Death] aptly filling the frontman shoes in, while seven tales of violence and degeneracy, that can be disturbing or catchy, vulgar or groovy, oppressive or sleazy, are highlighted by own personality nonetheless, with nasty, throaty vocals to wave the doom flag high and proud, sounding direct, rough, and aggressive, adding extra tension to the compositions and highlighting the wild, unrestrained character of music, further reinforcing raw intensity and uncompromising, filth-soaked sonic identity throughout
