Process Of Guilt/Faemin/Division Records/2012 CD Review


  Process  Of  Guilt  are  a  band  from  Portugal  that  plays  a  mixture  of  sludge,  doom,  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Faemin"  which  was  released  by  Division  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  drumming  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  fast  playing  or blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  tone  with  sludge/doom  metal  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  sludge,  doom  and  death  metal  together  with  a  great  amount  of  heavy  distortion  behind  the  riffing  in  addition  the  songs  are  very  long  and  epic  in  length,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  distorted  and  noisy  sounding  guitar  solos  and  leads  along  with  some  psychedelic  elements  being  thrown  in  at  times,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  full  chords  to  enhance  the  darkness  that  is  coming  out  of  the  music.

  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  deep  death  metal  growls  and  high  pitched  sludge  screams  with  some  influences  from  hardcore  as well  as  a  brief  use  of  clean  singing,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark  and  depressive  themes,  as  for  the  production  it h as  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this recording.

  In  my  opinion  process  Of  Guilt  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  sludge,  doom,  death  metal  and  hardcore  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style  of  music,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Empire"  and  "Harvest".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
