Chalice Of Suffering are a band from Minnesota that has had music reviewed before in this zine and plays an atmospheric form of funeral doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2019 album "Lost Eternally" which was released by Transcending Obscurity Records.
Clean playing starts off the album while all of the tracks are very long and epic in length as well as all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them. Spoken word parts can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording and atmospheric sounding synths are also added into some parts of the songs.
Death metal growls are also a very huge part of the recording along with the slow and heavy riffs being very heavily rooted in funeral doom metal. The riffs also add in a decent amount of melody while one track also introduces clean vocals onto the recording and when grim screams are utilized they also add in a touch of black metal and all of the music sticks to a slower direction.
On this recording Chalice Of Suffering remain true to their atmospheric style of funeral doom/death metal. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover depression, sadness, loneliness and grief themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Chalice Of Suffering and if you are a fan of atmospheric funeral doom/death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In The Midst Of Once Was" "Lost Eternally" and "Whispers Of Madness". 8 out of 10.
