As is evident by my last couple ramblings, I’ve been on a pretty
serious doom metal kick as of late and I’ve been loving every miserable
wrist-cutting inducing minute of it! The stunted-tempo music of Candlemass,
Solitude Aeturnus, Hooded Menace, and of course, the funeral doom of bands like
Mournful Congregation and Evoken. However, the music of the latter two bands
would not be compelling me to abuse anti-depressants right now if it wasn’t for
Thergothon, a Finnish band who many see as the originators of the style with
their one and only album Stream from the
Heavens.
