Of Graves, Of Worms and Epitaphs

by Aphonic Threnody & Frowning

supported by

J. Wukotich This strikes me as a bit heavier than their other work. Not at all a negative statement, by the way. A fantastic record either way. Favorite track: Funeral March.

about

REVIEWS

"Scorched Earth". The opening riff is very good and then on the second pass can hear the lines of cello getting involved in a wave of melancholy. We follow this slowness to approximately half of the song, where we have a little change of pace. Here we find an acoustic passage and halfway rustic because it mixes with a hiss of something burning.
Going forward we have the dark "The Last Stand Against the Gloom". In this range we find that typical touch Funeral Doom, with slow riffs, drums in "slow motion" but beautifully crafted and cavernous vocals. It is an extensive range, as it should be, and in his half have an acoustic passage, with guitar and we can hear a cello line very well executed." - Funeral Wedding.

"Every once in a while, a release emerges which captures the essence of a particular style perfectly, epitomising its strongest sides. Such releases are likely to become classics or at least be remembered for a longer time than most others. When newcomers are involved, such an achievement is all the more impressive, and this is the case with Of Graves, of Worms, and Epitaphs: released on the very young Russian label GS Productions"

"Compared to "Ruins", contained in the subsidy-driven output, stands the absence of Kostas so that even the keyboards are handled by Richard Veronese, which makes the sound much more guitar-oriented and, in my opinion, even more effective than the already remarkable previous output. Scorched Earth is a song by the high drama, in which the band, supported by the distinguished guest Jarno Salomaa (Shape Of Despair) slows down the pace due to creating an atmosphere enveloping riffs that combine impact and melody, all enhanced by a magnificent vocal performance by Roberto Mura." - Iyezine

With special guest Jarno Salomaa (Shape of Despair), Aphonic Threnody unleash two tracks of funereal doom metal combining emotional tunes and doom/death riffing. On the other hand Frowning releases some old tracks while waiting for its first full lenght album coming out later this year. Another great release signed by GS Productions.

about

Aphonic Threnody England, UK

"Fueled by a supremely bitter and very primal growl, this is the kind of doom band who capture the heart and then drag it to hell. Incredibly emotional in their raw heaviness, this is what doom should be about."

Subaqueous
by Drown

supported by 25 fans who also own “Of Graves, Of Worms and Epitaphs”

Powerful, plaintive expression of the fathomless sorrow of our suffering cetaceans and their depthless home, together with the indescribable loveliness of their distant blue-black realm. I feel as much interstellar space here as I do deep ocean, equally crushing and buoying. Dave Aftandilian

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 23 fans who also own “Of Graves, Of Worms and Epitaphs”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 23 fans who also own “Of Graves, Of Worms and Epitaphs”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert

"La mort n'existe ni pour les vivants ni pour les morts" écrivait Épicure et ça reste toujours vrai : personne ne peut en faire l'expérience — sauf NONE, formation américaine qui en a fait son leitmotiv. Les membres du groupe sont inconnus et son premier album n'a pas de nom ; même le paysage sur la pochette est vaporeux. Si le DSBM est déjà d'une tristesse funèbre qui serre le cœur, les passages atmosphériques donnent à entendre les âmes en peine de l'autre côté du voile. Un début magistral... Jordan Vauvert
