Blackened doom has always been my favorite fusion of any two metal subgenres. Why, you ask? It's quite simple really: combine the two subgenres that are typically the most gloomy and melancholic in the entire metal spectrum, and you're in for one hell of a result. This year, the Englishmen of Bast are hitting the scene full force with Spectres, and they're ready to show us how it's done. Read more ›› |

Alright, viewers. Today we are going to cook something a little different. You remember the Pate de canard en croute? Well this is going to be even more complicated than that. Get your ingredients ready, because dishing out a proper Bast Spectres takes a lot of them. Serves: Hundreds of hungry metal fans across subgenres Read more ›› |

This is GOOD. Strong debut I'd say. The last 45 seconds of the album are truly great.

There are some Persian/ Arabic letters written on the cover. Will definitely check this.

Doom is not a genre that often grips me. But these guys just GET it. The riffs are solid, the vocals are tantalizing, and above all else; these guys know how to write a lengthy composition. Not content with a simple "let's drone out the same chords for 10 minutes," Bast delivers a level of progression and surprising changes in tone, pace, and texture that is pretty masterful for a debut. There is even some Fugazi in the excellent closing track. Kudos to you, and a follow as well. Enjoyability=9 Musicianship=8 Innovation=8
