Experimental Sludged out Doom Metal Mayhem

FFO: YOB, Thou, Primitive Man, Old Man Gloom

New Heaven—Inter Arma’s sixth album and their first set of originals in five years—is a compelling testament to perseverance, top to bottom. Its thicket of ever-dense layers of doom death, and black metal occasionally let bits of light slip in, fleeting reminders to keep going amid the tumult. And Mike Paparo’s keen and empathetic lyrics about innocent victims of war,addiction, and social apathy affirm that feeling, as a survivor grimaces at the carnage behind him and presses ahead best he can. “You stared into the brutish jaws of strife’s heartless device,” he growls into a chthonic blitz during “The Children the Bombs Overlooked,” a late-album powerhouse. “And you turned your back to hell.” That forward march out of madness is New Heaven in an armor-plated nutshell.

Progressive Atonal Post Sludge Metal

FFO: Sumac, Isis the Band, Telephaty, Pelican

Below A Silent Sky is an instrumental Band from Ilmenau/Germany.
Their music is raw, intense and complex. Disturbing monotony, dissonance and destruction riffs dissolve in psychedelic sounds, complex harmonies and melodies with western attitude.
