Primordial's Alan Averill takes a break from his podcasts and brings back the old school doom ethos in Dread Sovereign to properly kickstart the year.

For me this one is merely OK. It needs at least 10 minutes of fat cutting from the overall run time. It has moments but there's too much meandering and I'm regularly waiting for the next good moment to come along.

Surprisingly shallow for a 50 minute album. It's not that it does anything badly, it just doesn't do anything well. It has some solid moments that generate this trance-like feeling you can slowly nod along with, the melodies have a "washing over you" effect at times, but it all gets lost in the repetitive plodding that goes nowhere.

"Nature Is The Devil's Church" and "Her Master's Voice" are clear stand-out songs.

This is one of cases when you need listen it 5 times and understand it, otherwise it don work , blasphemous doom metal, whit edgy raw riffs and raw approach from days when witch craft was real, I mean garage. Less publication, hard to get info, this how this band works, secret but burns up some good music, good doom metal. I wonder how is Alans other projects doing, maybe time for new albums?

I think what I like about this band is the bass and drum keeping things simple and grounded while the guitar is going overboard on the wah and other effects. It works for some songs, less for others.

Lingering in that 7-8 spot for me. Enjoyed it, will see how much so after some time and a few more listens.

Pretty good album I would say. I couldn't get into it in the beginning, but as I got into it, I really started liking it. It just feels really dirty, really murky sort of a doom metal album. Also the videos are really cool, gives a very good 80s horror vibes. Blasphemous doom metal indeed.
