--- Abyssmal Sorrow - Lament (2008) 1. "Bound In Lifeless Affliction" - 9:14 2. "Requiem For The Dying Moon" - 10:47 3. "Cavernous Sorrow And Worthlessness" - 5:55 4. "Echoes Through The Fields Of Death" - 9:23 5. "Austere Lament Part One" - 6:53 6. "Austere Lament Part Two" - 12:21 --- This is slow depressive black metal / funeral doom. The music will remind you of the name of the band which, for the record, was not spelled wrong on accident. The music is slow and mournful and goes between depressive funeral doom riffs to acoustic depressive black metal riffs. The vocals growl and crackle depressively, giving the impression that the singer is "giving up" similar to Sterbend, only growls not screams. Track 3 is the most memorable song on the album and track 5 has no vocals but a monologue with a man asking to be killed. I really like this album because it's so simple and effective it just really sticks and does what it intends to do, nothing less nothing more. ==========

Yeah I'm going to start doing little short reviews of things that I don't think many people have heard. I have the next one in mind right now but I'm heading up to a friend's place so I might do it later tonight or tomorrow.

This album is awesome. Been listening to it alot lately
Same here. I feel like it actually adds something to the music world. My metal-archives rating for it would be 100% easily, and my personal rating would have to be somewhere in the 90s.
