COUNCIL
OF TANITH
'The
Wrath Of God'
(Sarlacc
Productions)
The
Irish love their metal being of the doomy variety, they surely do. I
can only speculate as of the reasons why (the island's gloomy
weather, nation's complicated history, the numerous morning afters –
you name it), but this 12'' vinyl affair is yet another proof of that
observation. Council Of Tanith jam through these 3 songs with real
passion and knowledge for the style, give this a couple of spins and
you'll feel the genuine doom vibe (slowly) getting under your skin.
Crow's narrative vocals might require some time getting used to, but
they eventually fall in place with the heavy, thumbing low-end, and
the sorrowful riffs that dominate the tracks. No gimmicks, no
bullshit, just quality doom that should be right up their alley to
people who appreciate their Sabbath/Pentagram/St. Vitus mixed with
bits of Manilla Road's epic vibe. Kudos to the band for making
reference to all those cornerstones of quality metal music in the
finishing part of 'Final Rest' – nice touch, indeed! [7,5]
