France's Abysmal Growls Of Despair has returned with a new recording which shows the music going into more of a mixture of funeral doom metal, drone and dark ambient and this is a review of his 2019 album "Sentir Le Poids Des Montagnes Et Trouver Le Paix Dens Les Tenebres" which was released by Blue Tapes.
Distorted sounding drones start off the album while the only track that is presented on the album is over an hour long. At times the music also gets very repetitive with the same riff being used over an over for a few minutes at times and the heavier side of the music is very heavily rooted in funeral doom metal.
Throat singing is also brought into the music as the song progresses which also gives the music more of a ritualistic feeling. When synths are utilized in the background briefly they bring in elements of dark ambient, as the album progresses the vocals start getting more deep and cavernous sounding and the whole album also always sticks to a slower direction from beginning to end.
On this recording Abysmal Growls Of Despair remains true to his music of funeral doom metal, and drone while also adding in a touch of dark ambient and ritualistic throat singing to take his sound to another level, The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover despair themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Abysmal Growls Of Despair and if you are a fan of funeral doom metal and drone, you should check out this album. 8 out of 10.
