Oh yeah baby.

Quote:

"Following up their acclaimed Longing debut with a heavier, more colossal, crushing, hypnotic, and meditative lamentation, Four Phantoms sees the duo of Dylan Desmond (bass/vocals) and Adrian Guerra (drums/vocals) create a much more mournful and vast sonic procession, one which could very well be recognized as one of the most moving and emotionally draining death/doom metal albums ever conceived within this age of hopelessness and despair. The mournful aura and atmosphere of Four Phantoms so overwhelming, like a soundtrack to embracing the aftermath of an eradication brought upon entire races and civilizations."

I'm not exactly sure if this is a good blurb since it just described funeral doom in a nutshell.

Bought it at Roadburn. Pretty great album, although I'm still preferring Longing by a slight margin. One thing has to be said though: Dylan is an extremely talented bassist, and he gets a huge array of sounds out of his 6 string. Until I saw them live I honestly had no idea there were no guitars in the band

It wasn't until recently that I discovered that is was simply a bass/drum duo. MAN did my respect for this band skyrocket, as I never would have guessed. I should have done my research earlier. Longing was one hell of an album and I can't wait for this one!

Of course it describes funeral doom in a nutshell, since Bell Witch play funeral doom.

Why the fuck would anyone want to listen to "emotionally draining" music? Seems like emo taken to the nth degree: "I want to listen to music that will make me emotionally exhausted."

Ever hear of catharsis?

As far as what little I have heard from the genre, these guys seem to do it quite right. That being said, I would be bored to tears on stage playing this.
