Divine act of lunacy...

Genre: sludge-doom metal / alternative rock

Ghost Brigade really manage to capture a sense of melancholy and emotional darkness on this album. They draw on the emotional landscape associated with genres such as doom metal, Gothic metal (a la Paradise Lost), melodic sludge metal and alternative rock of the more depressive and melancholic kind.

Musically, the combine the heavy riffage of sludge and doom metal with the clean guitar passages of depressive alternative rock, and to this they add the melodic leads of Paradise Lost style Gothic metal and also melodic guitar harmonies, all of which generates this very dark, depressive and some times desperate atmosphere.

The vocals are either growled or sung in a more grungy fashion, and this combination works quite well in relation to the dark nuances of the music itself.

If you like Paradise Lost-ish Gothic doom and melodic sludge metal (and depressive alternative rock), then you are bound to love "Until Fear No Longer Defines Use" by Ghost Brigade.
