Thou - Tyrant (2007)

Quote:

I have never heard doom metal like this before. Not because I don't know what's up, but in truth because there does not exist doom metal quite like Thou. This is some genuinely refreshing music. It's riff, after riff, after riff, after riff of absolutely killer, doomed out, blackened, psychedelic sludge/drone doom metal. There's even parts that draw considerable post-metal inflluence, hell, post-rock even, but they're so much more grim that you can't really compare the two.

This is very dark music. It's also very, very beautiful. The intense psyched out melodies lead the way into some really epic, intense dirges. I know post-doom really doesn't work as a description.. it just conjures up something too weak. Which isn't even to say that post-metal (or post-rock. I highly enjoy both genres) bands are weak, either, but just that this band is very simply fucking brutal. And it's just that I can't find myself saying that about any post-rock or post-metal band I've ever heard. The same rifts and valleys of the parts from collossal peaks to the fucking slowest, dirtiest sludge you can imagine, all with some of the most painfully evil vocals you've ever heard, mixed with doomed out riffage from every other sick and filthy sub-genre you can imagine, garnished with a doom/death aftertaste. And then, at the same time (of course) there are parts that Godspeed would be proud of. Hell, envious of. It's really really good post-rock.The dreamy, melancholy-but-still-somehow-happy jams are all here. And they're still grim the entire time. And definitely metal.-metal-archives.com
