Vastum are a band from San Francisco that plays a very dark and brutal form of doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2011 album "Carnal Law" which will be released by 20 Buck Spin.
Drums are mostly slow to mid paced drumming that is very heavy and brutal with some fast playing and blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark and heavy tone with some very brutal doom/death metal riffing.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffing that combine the heaviest elements of doom and death metal and the faster riffing has a thrash edge, while the lead guitars are very slow death/doom metal guitar solos that have a melodic edge at times.
Vocals are mostly deep death metal growls with some high pitched screams being thrown in at times with some brief spoken word passages, while the lyrics cover Abjection, Eroticism, and Death with a touch of psycho-analysis, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and heavy sound to it but still professional enough to the point that you can hear all of the musical instruments.
In my opinion Vastum are a very good brutal doom/death metal band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this band. RECOMMONDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Devoid" and "Spirit Abused". RECOMMONDED BUY.
