Free Music Review: A Monument In Doom
Hit: 5 Stars
While Heaven Wept pioneer a new sort of Doom metal. Its not like the growling, downtuned dirges of My Dying Bride, its not like the psychadelic ambiences of Black Sabbath, nor does it follow the strictly sombre moods of Anathema. So what does it sound like? I can't think of an immediate comparision, it contains of the elements of quite a few things though.
The music is very guitar driven, solos are ladden in most of the tracks. Quite heavy at times, quite soft at others. While Heaven Wept aren't afraid to have a more upbeat riff every now and then. Keyboards are prevalent in a few of the songs though they add to whats already there rather than take away. The songs would still be great without the keyboard prescence. Tom Philips has an amazing voice. He tends to stay in the upper range but doesn't go so high that he breaches the power metal range. Overall, I highly recommend this album. Unless you hate any band with a vocalist that sounds relatively human you'll probably love it.
