3/5 ·
Warthur
Brief, fairly straight-ahead doom metal effort with strong trad doom and hard rock influences. The cover art is neat and the production helps evoke an early doom sound, but precisely because the imitation of the early doom style is so close, if you're into the likes of Pentagram or Saint Vitus or Trouble then you've probably heard plenty of heavier, doomier takes on very similar material before. I could have done with a touch more psych in the balance here; as it stands, this is the sort of thing I can have in the background happily and enjoy myself when it's there, but don't really remember much compelling about once the music stops playing.
