jasonmaska Thick, grimy, sludgy riffs that will keep you headbanging. The bonus is that it's pay what you want. Dive in. Favorite track: Unmapped Territories of Clans without Names.

Dante Ruivo The proof that you dont even need that many riffs, just the right ones. Favorite track: Unmapped Territories of Clans without Names.

Sonny92 Eremit's latest comprises three tracks with a daunting 66 minutes runtime and is certainly an album with no wish to be hurried. It has a palpably bleak and desolate atmosphere that doesn't allow even a shred of light to filter through it's all-encompassing darkness. Low and slow sludge that has a funeral doom crawling tempo with desperate and vicious vocals is the weapon of choice for these German miserablists.

about

German sludge/doom overlords Eremit return after releasing a fantastic EP in last year's 'Desert of Ghouls' which acted as a bridge between the band's earth-shatteringly heavy debut full length and the follow-up album which is definitely a progression. The band doesn't shy away from writing epic songs averaging 20 minutes, with the longest one being almost half an hour long but that's where they excel - they're masters of meticulous songwriting and this genre provides them with the framework they need to narrate their mythical tales around which each album is designed. There's a pronounced blackened touch on this one which adds diversity to their deafeningly heavy sludge/doom sound and there are many twists and turns that one will realize upon immersing oneself into the world of Eremit. Everything has a meaning, a purpose. Not a single riff is out of place. It should be evident from Eremit's subsequent releases that the band is only going from strength to strength and evolving where it deems necessary, and the listener is always in for a fascinating, heart-pounding experience. 

For fans of - Conan, Jupiterian, Subterraen, 71TonMan, Primitive Man, Eyehategod, Grief
