Ennui – End of the Circle (Full Length, 2018)
Uh oh, not Funeral Doom Death Metal, I said when Ennui’s End of the Circle promo arrived. The genre is known with it’s draggy, long and crawling song pace, sometimes up to 1 hour just for one song.
I personally recommend to listeners to listen the album in its entirety to be totally immersed in their offering. If you’re expecting the record to be a total crawling pace fest, I’d like to confirm that it is not entirely the case. There are parts where the songs pick up in pace, blasting in Death Metal form (limited to first track), and then switches to atmospheric build-up, back to being Funeral Doom and more. Props to the heavy guitar (a norm in any Doom releases), bleak atmosphere parts and croaking low vocals for making the record enjoyable, although I can’t say the same for the duration. It’s a madness to go through, to be honest, but you might find it a worthy experience.
For fans of Esoteric, Shape of Despair, Evoken and Mournful Congregation
End of the Circle will be out 5th September via Non Serviam Records.
