Ewigheim are a band from Germany that plays a very gothic form of doom metal along with small amounts of black metal influences and this is a review of their 2013 album "Nachruf" which was released by Massacre Records.
"Zwischen Menschen" which was the first song on the album opens up with keyboards and melodic clean singing vocals before adding in heavy doom metal guitar riffs that also utilize some melody along with some bass guitars and guitar leads and after a minute there is a brief use of spoken word parts.
"Die Augen Zu" begins with 80's style gothic keyboards before adding in heavy guitars, bass and drums which also lead s up to some melodic vocals and towards the end there is a brief use of melodic guitar leads along with some clean playing in the background.

"Heimweh" starts up with clean guitars before getting heavy as well as bringing in drums and keyboards which also leads up to some vocals and you can also hear bass guitars in the background and towards the end there is a brief use of spoken word parts.
"Ein Nqachruf" kicks in with keyboards before adding in heavy guitar riffs and drums and a few seconds alter the vocals kick in and the music goes more into a gothic metal direction along with some guitar solos and leads that come in and out of the song.
"Himmelfahrt" comes in with keyboards and heavy guitar riffs along with some drums and then the vocals start to kick in along with some gothic and 80's new wave elements and the guitar riffing gets more melodic towards the end.

"Sanctum Imperium" which is also the last song on the album begins with keyboards and a few seconds later melodic vocals start to kick in along with some heavy guitar and bass riffs which utilize melody as well as a brief use of black metal vocals which also leads up to some melodic guitar riffing along with some violins and guitar leads.
Song lyrics are written in German and cover suicide, murder and death, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound to it where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.
In my opinion Ewigheim are a very great sounding mixture of gothic and doom metal with small amounts of black metal influences and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band.
