"Electric Doom Synthesis" is the third full-length studio album by Finnish black metal/dark ambient music act Beherit. The album was released through Spinefarm Records in June 1996. Beherit called it quits shortly after the release of the album. It´s the follow-up release to "H418ov21.C" from February 1994.

Thematically and stylistically it´s also the natural successor to the dark ambient music found on "H418ov21.C". Already after the release of "Drawing Down the Moon" (November 1993), Beherit became a one-man project and Nuclear Holocausto Vengeance opted to change the music style from the atmospheric black/doom metal style of the early Beherit releases to dark ambient music primarily created on keyboards and using drum programming.

While "Electric Doom Synthesis" follows the trail already tread by "H418ov21.C", it´s ultimately a darker, more ambient, and less accessible release. It´s harsher and more raw and it definitely requires more of the listener than the predecessor did. It´s still a very slow building and an, although not entirely uneventful release, still a bit repetitive and often tedious listen. A 2.5 star (50%) rating is warranted.
