Desert Lord are a band from Finland that plays a mixture of stoner rock and doom metal and this is a review of their 2014 album "To The Unknown" which was released by Under A Serpent Sun Records.
A very slow and heavy sound starts off the album along with some bass guitars which leads up to some melodic blues rock vocals and the music starts mixing doom metal and 70's rock together and after awhile the vocals start mixing in more aggressive sounding screams in with their melodic approach along with a small amount of death metal growls.
When solos and leads are added into the music they enhance the stoner and 70's retro rock sound s of the recording and the band also adds in more tripped out effects into their musical sound as well as adding more melody into the guitar riffing along with most of the tracks being very long and epic in length.
On on e of the later tracks acoustic guitars are added into certain sections of the recording along with small amounts of spoken word parts and a power ballad while the main focus remains on a very heavy, doom metal sound and they also remain true to a slow sound with no fast parts or blast beats ever being added into their musical style.
Desert Lord played a very 70's orientated form of doom metal with their music but with a more updated and modern sound that also has elements of stoner rock, sludge and a small dose of death metal being added into their musical style vocal wise, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Desert Lord are a very great sounding stoner/doom metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album> RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Forlorn Caravan" and "Become Aware". 8 out of 10.
