Dream Long Dead/Madness Dead Alive-Live Invocations To The ONES That Lurk At The Threshold/2013 Live EP Review


  This  is  a  review  of  a  live  recording  from  Dream  Long  Dead  which  continues  their  hybrid  of  doom,  death  metal,  sludge  and  punk  which  was  released  in  2013  and  called  "Madness  Dead  Alive - Live Invocations to the ONES  That  Lurk  At  The  Threshold".

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  no  fast  drumming  or  blast  beats  being  present on  this  recording,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

 Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  riffs  that  combine  doom,  death  metal,  sludge  and  punk  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  with  some  dark  sounding  melodies  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  at  times  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean  playing  and  there  are  little  to  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  are  all  early  style  death  metal  vocals  that  go  back  to  the  roots  of  the  genre,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Occultism  and  H.P  Lovecraft  writings,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it  while  you  can  still  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  the  songs  being  recorded  live  and  are  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Dream  Long  Dead  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  doom/death  and  sludge  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  live  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "The  Madness  From  Above".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
