Depressed Mode - ..For Death..
About two years ago I reviewed the debut full length of Finnish doomers Depressed Mode, a band that started as a solo project but evolved into a full blown band. Their symphonic doom/death music already managed to impress me back then, so let’s see what their new record ..For Death.. holds for us.
The formula this band uses has remained unchanged. Synth-based songs accompanied by depressing funeral doom metal with the occasional up-tempo part are abundant on this record. Topping the music are two voices, one clean female and one male, who does both clean parts as well as brutal parts. Still the basis for most of the music is obviously derived from classical piano music, which is plain to hear in every song. Therefore the atmosphere on this record is very enchanting and relaxing, yet still depressing as funeral doom metal should be. And it also gives the band a bit of a face of its own, something that is hard to achieve in this scene.
The song structures and recording quality are both of a high quality, so if you like the style these guys play, don’t hesitate to check out ..For Death.. You will not be disappointed, au contraire, you most likely will also want to check out their previous record Ghosts Of Devotion.
