El Camino are a band from Sweden that plays a mixture of doom metal, occult and stoner rock and this is a review of their 2013 album "Gold Of The Great Deceiver" which was released by Night Tripper.
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 traditional and doom./death metal with 70's occult rock to create a sound of their own as well as having some melody and stoner elements being thrown into the riffing at times, while the lead guitars are very dark and emlodic sounding doom/70's hard rock guitar solos and leads.
Vocals are mostly rough sounding vocals that utilize some melody as well as the aggressive elements of early 90's doom/death metal along with some spoken word samples being used at times, while the lyrics cover darkness, satanism, and occult themes, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy, dark and old school sound to it while you can see all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording as well as some of the songs being long and epic in length.
In my opinion El Camino are a very great sounding hybrid of doom metal and occult rock and if you are a f an of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Black Witch Love" "The One Of Evil" and "The Wizard". RECOMMENDED BUY.
