Amduscias Flawless, inspired, strong. Let's make it simple : If you're into Doom Metal, you NEED this. Favorite track: In Servitude to Destiny.

paul rote This is doom . I had their demo . Doom was very rare in those days . A couple years after their first demo , doom got hijacked by stoner rock . The beautiful style of doom I fell in love with would remain deep in the underground.
To the remnant of bands who kept the truth , I thank you . Favorite track: Ritual Magic.

about

Influenced by the likes of SAINT VITUS, CANDLEMASS, PENTAGRAM, WITCHFINDER GENERAL, TROUBLE, and (old) BLACK SABBATH, the roots of Dawn of Winter stretch back to the very early 90s, and their dream of playing pure and honest doom metal has not waned or changed in the slightest since then. A string of demo releases and an EP eventually led to the debut album In the Valley of Tears in 1998. This long out of print album is now re-released by I HATE as a deluxe 2CD digipak.

Disc 1 features the full-length, In the Valley of Tears. Disc 2 consists of recordings never before released on CD including the pre-album demo tape In Servitude to Destiny (1996), and the two 12” EP’s, Slow Is the Suffering (2001) and The Skull of the Sorcerer (2012). Almost two hours’ worth of superbly crafted and passionately expressed doom metal from the German underground! No frills, no fads, no gimmicks, no asinine image! This is TRUE DOOM the way it’s meant to sound. A formula enduring in the hearts of real genre fans until the end of days.

This... THIS is how you revive classic and traditional metal from the 80s while making it your own. I could rant and rave for a mini novel's worth of words about why this album is just... impossibility good. I've had to retract so much because of how long winded I got. Please just give it a shot if it's within the subgenres you like. playfulpooka

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
