Dreams of the Drowned - Thanatotropic Principle


Artist: Dreams of the Drowned
Album: Thanatotropic Principle
Genre: Experimental Black Metal
Year: 2009
Origin: France

The band noticed my earlier post with the demo and kindly pointed me toward the new release, which they uploaded yesterday. As they put it, it's "not a full length yet but a true release indeed!" Anyway, I'm happy to share and promote music of this quality, and I hope the band receives more recognition with this release.

This album continues the trend found in the demo, including a cover of Coiled In Wings by avant-garde legends Ved Buens Ende. The music is sludgy post-rock, hectic hardcore and blackened rock all bundled nicely in an avant-garde package. I wouldn't call it shoegaze, but those of you on that bandwagon will find something to like as well. Overall it's another unique and rockin' release from Dreams of the Drowned.

Dreams of the Drowned - Demo


Artist: Dreams of the Drowned
Album: Demo
Genre: Black Metal
Year: 2008
Origin: France

Dreams of the Drowned play black metal with surprising hardcore / post-punk influences. Solstafir did something (a tiny bit) similar with Masterpieces of Bitterness, which I might post later, but it was much more traditional in terms of black / viking metal. I love black metal bands that are doing things I've never heard before. The band plans to release a full-length in 2009, and I look forward to it.
