Comment:
2nd album by this heavy, dark, rotting and gloomy Doom/ Death Metal band featuring Dave Rotten from AVULSED on vocals. For lovers of stuff like DISEMBOWELMENT, EVOKEN, RIPPIKOULU, MYTHIC, WINTER, NECROS CHRISTOS, INCANTATION...
En cuanto te pones a escuchar el disco una atmĂłsfera oscura te atrapa, como debe ser, te hipnotiza, te lleva a pasajes opresores. Los temas son largos, muy largos, eso no significa que sean monĂłtonos, tiene una estructura que va desde pasajes mas pesados a guitarras limpias lo que hace que los temas tengan una variaciĂłn desoladora.
Tema aparte es la voz, Dave consigue en ciertos momento una guturalidad que da miedo, asĂ como suena, sus registros son impresionantes, hay momentos que lo combina con voces agudas Blackeras, cosa que en su anterior trabajo no era asĂ, lo que demuestra la madurez que van consiguiendo con el paso del tiempo sin llegar a estancarse y proponiendo cosas nuevas, lo cual es bastante interesante en cualquier grupo, y mas en este estilo.
Las canciones a destacar, pues “Molested, Defiled, Disrupted” y la canción que abre el disco, “Abyss of the Underworld”, y no porque sean mejores a las demás, aqui desde luego nosotros no tenemos canción “favorita” del disco, este trabajo es un todo, en el cual un tema no puede vivir sin los temas, es un disco del cual no puedes escuchar canciones sueltas, se debe escuchar siempre entero, te lo pide el cuerpo, simplemente destacamos estas dos porque son un claro ejemplo de lo que es Famishgod y “Roots of Darkness”.
Last year's morbid album "Roots of Darkness" of the most stinking old school death metal is definitely succeeded. You can find here the primest pieces of rotting meat. Each gravedigger, a fan of old school death metal and doom should sharpen his attention. The album is the darkest place of occult rituals, the bones are rattling and skulls are crushed with sharp melodies. FAMISHGOD come from the deepest underground and this is evident on their music. It is sharp, cold and dirty like abandoned grave. Welcome to the land of evil and despair! Death doom recording that will burn you to ashes! Cult!
Dave Rotten ist ein vielseitiger Musiker und dürfte aufgrund seines Schaffens bei solch Knüppelbarden wie Avulsed, Christ Denied oder Putrevore durchaus einen gewissen Bekanntheitsgrad haben. Qualitativ gibt es dabei beständig starke Kost und somit durfte man nun auch gespannt sein, was die neue Veröffentlichung von Famishgod angeht. Bei diesem Bastard hat man es mit einem schwerfälligen Monstrum zu tun, wobei das Erstwerk bereits ordentlich Eindruck schinden konnte. "Roots Of Darkness" nennt sich das zweite Werk jenen Duo's, welches sich abermals im zähen Sektor des Funeral Doom/Death Metal suhlt und gerade bei Freunden von Disembowelment sicherlich gut funzen wird. Dabei greift man tief in die modrige Kiste und liefert auf knappen siebzig Minuten recht standardmäßigen Funeral Doom ab, der immer mal mittels ruhiger Gitarren aufgelockert und durch tiefe Grunts flankiert wird. Leider muss ich jedoch schnell feststellen, dass "Roots Of Darkness" keinesfalls mit dem mächtigen "Devourers Of Light" mithalten kann. Selten wird das Gebotene mal in etwas agiler Art umgesetzt, so bietet etwa "Lost Language Of The Dead" aber diesbezüglich gute Ansätze. In solchen Punkten sitzt die Stärke von Famishgod, wo man mittels präzise eingesetzter Wuchtigkeit durchaus zu punkten versteht. Dies geschah auf dem Vorwerk in vorbildlicher Art und Weise, also bleibt die Frage, warum Famishgod diesen Weg nicht ausgebaut oder konsequent weiter gegangen sind, denn scheinbar hat man verstärkt Freude daran gefunden, sich lang gezogenen Aufbauten hinzugeben.
"Roots Of Darkness" serviert am Ende ein solides StĂĽck dĂĽsteren Metal, wobei aber das Ausbleiben markanter Passagen deutlich zu spĂĽren ist und man sich zwischenzeitlich doch irgendwie mehr erhofft. Wem das DebĂĽt zusagte, der kann zugreifen, wohlgemerkt sollte man aber keine Steigerung erwarten. Schade.
FamishGod are a band from Spain that plays funeral doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2016 album "Roots of Darkness" which was released by Xtreem Music.
Distorted sounds along with clean playing starts off the album which also leads up to a heavier doom metal direction and after awhile death metal growls make their presence known and the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's and grim screams can also he heard briefly and the riffs also use a decent amount of morbid sounding melodies.
Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length and they also mix both the heavy and clean parts and times and when guitar leads are utilized they are done in a very dark and melodic fashion and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and all of the songs stick to a very slow musical direction and synths can be heard in the background briefly.
FamishGod plays a style of funeral doom/death metal that is very heavily rooted in the 90's, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover doom, desolation, death and oblivion themes.
In my opinion FamishGod are a very great sounding funeral doom/death metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. Recommended tracks include "Abyss of the Underworld" "Chamber of Chaos" and "Mournful Sounds of Death".
