Description
There’s a number of risks inherent in making metal like this. Death-doom can either be one of the most sublimely satisfying forms of metal available to human ears, or it can just bore you to tears. Many bands, in the attempt to be as crushing as possible, make meandering, painfully plain compositions lacking all hooks and dynamics. Others, trying to add some sort of avant-garde element to seem “different,” crank out unlistenable drek. Sweden’s Black Wound has found the right balance between aural terror and riff-writing prowess to avoid these common mistakes.
