Doomcult are a band from the Netherlands that plays a very atmospheric form of doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2018 ep "Ashes" which will be released in October by Loneravn Records.
A very dark, heavy and melodic doom metal sound starts off the ep while most of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with some angry shouts also being added into the music at times and all of the musical instruments on the recording have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar leads are utilized they are done in a very dark and melodic style while elements of depressive black metal are added into some parts of the music along with the vocals also adding in more of an 80's extreme metal style at times and all of the songs stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction and clean vocals are added onto the closing track.
Doomcult plays a musical style that takes traditional, funeral and 90's era atmospheric doom/death metal styles and mixes them together with more of an old school thrash/black metal style vocal to create something original, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover aggressive and misanthropic themes.
In my opinion Doomcult are a very great sounding original and atmospheric funeral doom/death metal band and if you are looking for something very original, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Black Fire". 8 out of 10.
