Adoran are a duo from Toronto, Ontario, Canada that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays a mixture of drone, sludge, doom metal and post rock and this is a review of their 2019 album "Artemisia" which was released by Tartarus Records.
Atmospheric sounding drones start off the album while both of the tracks are very long and epic in length. Powerful sounding bass guitars can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording as well as the music also getting very repetitive and primitive sounding at times and the music also has its spacey and trippy moments.
Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the music as well as both of the songs capturing an improv atmosphere. A touch of post rock can also be heard in some parts of the music and both of the tracks stick to a slower musical direction as well as always remaining instrumental.
On this recording Adoran remain true to their instrumental and improv mixture of drone, sludge, doom metal and post rock and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Adoran and if you are a fan of drone, sludge, doom metal and post rock, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK "senna". 8 out of 10.
