This is a review of another recording from Catacombed which continues the mixture of drone and funeral doom of the ep with the album being self released in 2015 and called "Cave Crypt".
Dark sounding drones start off the album giving the music a lo-fi sound and a few seconds later bass guitars start to kick in and all of the tracks are very long and epic in length and stick to a very slow, dark and heavy funeral doom/drone sound and on the second track deep guttural death metal growls start becoming a part of the music briefly.
Just like the previous recording the bass guitar is used as a lead instrument with no regular guitars ever being utilized and some songs also bring in elements of the early 90's doom/death metal sound and a good portion of the tracks are instrumentals and vocals are only used briefly and the drums that where on the ep are absent from this album.
Catacombed continues the bass guitar style of drone/funeral doom that was presented on the previous recording while focusing less on vocals, the production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover dark and depressive themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Catacombed and if you are a fan of drone and funeral doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Cave Crypt" and "Black One". 8 out of 10.
