Doom metal appears to be waking from a slumber over the past year or so.
While experienced bands like Candlemass, Conan and SubRosa continue to
storm ahead, content at doing what they do best, numerous fresh doom
bands are surfacing and following in their masterÆs trodden footsteps
towards imminent success. Darkher and Sinistro have both proven capable
of simultaneously melting and freezing your heart, and Boss Keloid and
King Goat have ground the weight of doom with the depth of stoner rock,
with engrossing highs.
BirminghamÆs Kroh is the latest doom outfit that has risen from the
depths of the UK underworld, where theyÆve been lurking for just over 5
years. Initially formed as a duet by ex Anaal Nathrakh live bassist,
Paul Kenney, Kroh released a self-titled debut in 2011 which flew by
relatively unnoticed, and the band subsequently disbanded in 2013. Two
years later, they have returned with a reshaped line-up and a sophomore
album, ôAltarsö, that cuts deep enough to leave scars.
Numerous doom bands decide that because their music is so weighty the
lumbering pace should match the feelings they are expressing, resulting
in extended song durations that seem to last an eternity. The nine songs
on ôAltarsö are considerably shorter than a stereotypical doom song;
averaging at about 5 minutes each. This approach makes this album
digestible and keeps your interest orbiting around the distortionÆs
gravitational pull.
Furthermore, Kroh stuffs a considerable amount of drama into these
shorter songs. The cyclic chanting on æLiving WaterÆ relies on
sacrilegious tenor, united with marching drums to create an imposing
sense of dread. Other songs, such as æMaladyÆ and æColdÆ focus
specifically on manifesting a chilly, mysterious and uncertain
atmosphere. Both include warping distortion and simplistic
instrumentation to create a hazy and deluded feeling, and the latter
focuses on a narrative singing approach which details some typical doom
lyricism: the decay of humanity and world collapse.
New vocalist, Oliwia Sobieszek, sounds so comfortably commanding with
her singing on ôAltarsö. Her weeping laments and effortlessly powerful
cries during æMother SerpentÆ combine perfectly with KenneyÆs guitars to
create a majestic chorus. By adopting ghostly wails that are often
isolated or echoed in the mix, her alluring voice enhances the sense of
mystery that Kroh emits throughout the album to develop an aura of pure
solitude. While Oliwia steals the show, itÆs impossible not to notice
KenneyÆs heavily distorted guitars. They slither from painful clawing
notes to spiteful riffing, like on æFeed the BrainÆ and æStone into
FleshÆ; the latter sounding like Slayer as performed by a dying sloth.
Technically, this isnÆt KrohÆs debut album. Nevertheless, it does
illustrate their gifted abilities in a far more powerful and captivating
way than their actual debut. Thanks to talented bands like Kroh, the
scope of what doom metal is becoming broadens with any album released
which underlines the same characteristic ôAltarsö does: expansion.
