Carrier Of Weight (Atmospheric Sludge/Doom Metal)

by EREMIT (Germany)

supported by

Sonny92 Towering monolithic slabs of titanic sonic devastation, set to lay waste to all that dare turn their ears towards them. OK, maybe that's overstating it a little, but this is serious sludge / doom that's really not for the faint-hearted (two of the three tracks are over 20 minutes long). Brilliant cover too from Mariusz Lewandowski who did the artwork for Bell Witch's Mirror Reaper. Favorite track: Cocoon Of Soul.

Paddy C. Intense, Heavy and destined to be a Classic...
The guitar sound and vocals are IMMENSE!!! Favorite track: Froth Is Beckoning.

Ian Lovdahl jesus christmas, i love their guitar tone. like a 1000 wasps wearing wool sweaters buzzing around in my ears Favorite track: Cocoon Of Soul.

Pie Hole Eremit—cave dweller, troglodyte, hermit, recluse.....one whom does not like company.

My new word for the day. Eremit. I like it. Favorite track: Cocoon Of Soul.

end 0))) Hyper sludge. The ugliest bass tone imaginable. Dynamic in all the best ways. Just buy it. Favorite track: Froth Is Beckoning.

about

Monolithic sludge/doom band EREMIT give us one of the heaviest and most ambitious album the style has seen in recent times. Featuring stunning album artwork by Mariusz Lewandowski (BELL WITCH), the band trudge through turbulent, winding structures without letting them affect the overall momentum. There are three epic songs, with the longest being over 33 minutes, where they flesh out every nuance and showcase rare depth while retaining unparalleled brutality. Being the band's debut, the emotions are all too raw and palpable, but perhaps that's what's needed to get the point across. This is undiluted, straight-from-the-heart, maxed out sludge/doom with moments of poignancy ensconced in the bludgeoning heaviness.

Fringe (Atmospheric Sludge/Doom Metal)
by LURK (Finland)

Finnish sludge/doom metal band LURK have crafted a mesmerizing album that's different from the rest as it doesn't follow a standard template. This is refreshingly original as well as haunting. Eremit

Phlogiston Catharsis (Industrial Doom/Black Metal)
by P.H.O.B.O.S. (France)

French industrial doom maniacs P.H.O.B.O.S. sound like the bastard child of GODFLESH and BLUT AUS NORD. This is as frightening as it is alluring, and quite frankly one of the best albums of this year. Eremit

At This Great Depth (Atmospheric Doom)
by SOOTHSAYER (Ireland)

Irish atmospheric sludge/doom experts are one of the most underrated bands in the style. Their take on the music is very emotive and suspenseful and will leave you wanting for more each time. Eremit
