ballsack44 well done soothsayer. cracker of an album. listening to music like this makes you proud to be irish

Obstacle of Affliction This excellent album has me a bit confused and conflicted. I can not agree on which substance this would further enhance. Would it be ETOH, THC, LSD, or some questionable other?
I could not come up with an answer so I kept sipping my tea and bobbing my head. Perhaps some mysteries should stay unsolved.

about

Irish doom/sludge band Soothsayer released a gem of an EP a few years back but nothing could've prepared us for this powerful, monolithic album which happens to be their debut full length. Somehow they have retained the emotionally-charged atmosphere while adding next level intensity to their music. It is now pulsating with raw, irrepressible energy which is almost bursting through the music, echoed by a truly harrowing performance by the vocalist. The sentiments of frustration, rage and despair come through because of the systematic and apathetic destruction of nature, and it has had enough and is now lashing back at all of us. This album captures this feeling perfectly using an organic sound, eschewing the use of paint brushes to create the artwork with fallen leaves, and most importantly, channeling the chaos surrounding us all into pure sonic catharsis in a manner that this genre can barely contain. This is one of the most emotive and turbulent albums in the realm of doom/sludge metal while being consistently plaintive, angry and evocative at the same time.

Vazio (Atmospheric Death/Doom Metal)
by SEPULCROS (Portugal)

supported by 114 fans who also own “Echoes of the Earth (Atmospheric Doom/Sludge Metal)”

I always though Portugal was a nice sunny place, but Lisbon's Sepulcros have laid that belief to rest as there must be something very dark lurking there for the band to tap into in order to produce an album this dark-sounding, because what we have here seems to ooze up from unfathomed abyssal depths before exploding to the surface and covering everything with a pall of utter and impenetrably dark bleakness.

Protosapien
by JUPITERIAN (Brazil)

supported by 110 fans who also own “Echoes of the Earth (Atmospheric Doom/Sludge Metal)”

'Protosapien' is a dark and brooding display of death-doom with a heavy dose of sludge tones. This album feels crushing and massive while still allowing room for atmosphere and even melody. A very solid offering. And of course the Lewandowski album cover is superb as always. 7/10 RJ

Some pretty good atmospheric death-doom. The track order of this album is odd, with the first two songs being far longer and grander in scale than the latter two songs. It doesn't work super well to me, but I can appreciate the attempt at something new, and maybe it's someone else's thing. It's worth a listen. Camel
