Review:
Belgian
Doom/Stoner Band – Dorre, have teamed up with Danish Sludge/Doom
Band – Bethmoora for this highly intriguing split album.
Dorre provide a more psychedelic instrumental doom/stoner metal sound whilst Bethmoora play a more harsher style of Sludge/Doom Metal. Two different sounds that still go hand in hand with each other.
Dorre's
side of the album is still a thunderous affair with heavy psychedelic
stoner based sounds grounded in a more doomier outlook. Opening track
– Three Fell From The Sky – is Dorre's strongest track with as
they offer a spaced out sound that merges elements of Doom, Stoner
and Fuzz with expert precision . The instrumental work is a lot more
clearer than Dorre's previous releases and you can feel every note
being played.
Second
track – Four Walked Into The Ocean, carries on the
post-rock/post-metal dynamic that Dorre expertly created on the
opening track but still offering their psychedelic doom/stoner hybrid
kind of sound. This song has quite an intelligent feel to it
especially with the stop-start feel of the song as the band slow the
mood right down whilst still offering a more faster upbeat tempo.
Up
next for the final track is Bethmoora and it's one hell of a ride as
the band provide an almost 18 minute epic called – Succumb. It
starts off very slowly and with a more gloomier outlook than Dorre's
but wait until Anders vocals kick in. As the mood turns even bleaker
than before. Anders vocals are forged in the depths of hell. Death
based growls and sprawling doom/sludge
Bethmoora
add different elements to their song with traces of Blackened Doom
and Post-Rock lurking in the background. Bethmoora have a more primal
and rawer sound compared to Dorre's. I mean that as a compliment as
it still sounds superb.
Dorre
/ Bethmoora split album is an expertly produced package as it sounds
incredible from start to finish. If you're a fan of both bands then
this is a must-have release. It showcases two great bands to keep an
eye on in the future.
