When last we left Shattered Hope, I was asked to review their 2007 Promo... a two track, 20 minute release morphing of traditional doom with some death/doom vocals reminiscent of Officium Triste. Now it's 2010 and they are back with a vengeance. Ok, maybe not a vengeance necessarily, but they are back with a full-length release, Absence. Seven tracks spanning an hour of pure dooming satisfaction. Read more ›› |

death doom
Dec 09, 2010
so i've teased, tormented and tantalized you with a review of an album you could not have... Until Now.
It's a Festivus miracle.
If you like yer doom slow, drawn out, growly, and HELLenic, you know what to do.

Doom
Jun 04, 2010
Ok, so this Staff Pick is a bit unfair. It's more a "head's up!" than a "buy this now" recommendation. Why? The band is unsigned (some exec get on this!), but sent out 250 promo copies of their first full-length. Being one of the chosen few, I've had the chance to listen to a it a few times through and am delighted at their progress. A full, proper review shall be forthcoming.
In the mean time, if you like your doom with death-stylee vocals, lots of slow trudging with the occasional almost quiet atmospheric interlude or quickening of the pulse go ahead and visit the album page and add this to your wishlist ... and wait for some label to snap these guys up and start circulating this woeful yet wonderful release properly.

Great album. I'm inclined to agree with BitterCOld's review score in this case.

Who are these guys? Discovered them only recently. Not much old Anathema for me. But certainly a hell of an album. Solid 8 right away after two spins (which doesnt happen often for me). Will give them a couple of more chances. See where it gets. Hope the successor wont be too much of a disappointment for me.

Good bleak doom. Reminds me a lot of Swallow The Sun at point.
