Rating:
8.3

After the less than warm reception surrounding Twilight Of The Gods' Fire On The Mountain last year, Alan Averill (of Primordial and Void Of Silence notoriety) is back with a vengeance with the debut of his new Dread Sovereign project. After putting out a small EP last year, the group now see themselves hitting the scene hard this year with All Hell's Martyrs, a more concise delivery of ideas that's guaranteed to win over fans both with its eerie vibe and overall catchy atmosphere. Brace yourselves, kids: this one's a fucking banger.

Then you most probably have a misprint on your hands Because the last track is really called 'All Hell's Martyrs, Transmissions From The Devil Star'' The booklet with the lyrics says the same thing. I was wondering if there are 2 versions of the album. Bit of a weird misprint, All Hell becoming Live Through. ---- "I'm here to nunchuck and not wear helmets. And I'm all out of helmets."

Paz 777 Elite Posts: 4011	Permalink 11.10.2014 - 16:25 Paz 777 Elite Posts: 4011 I consider "Scourging Iron" to be the best traditional doom metal song of 2014, but the album as a whole is a little too lengthy for me. Loading...

!J.O.O.E.! Account deleted	Permalink 07.02.2015 - 11:16 !J.O.O.E.! Account deleted Production is fairly bad: I want to be wrapped in sound not feel like it's just out of reach, though it serves the ambient elements quite well. Vocals seem to go from good to some kind of cringey Serj Tankian / Mark Shelton offspring; something that didn't happen in Primordial. Songs are ok, I guess. It had it's moments, some good, some pretty dull and not sure why some are so long. Really not sure who to give my doom vote to this year. I probably won't bother. Loading...

IMO unique doom act this is ---- I stand whit Ukraine and Israel. They have right to defend own citizens.
