Do are a band from Finland that plays a psychedelic mixture of stoner, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of their self released 2015 ep "Den".
Acoustic guitar playing which is also used in other parts of the recording starts off the ep and after a few seconds the music starts going into more of a heavier, dark and melodic doom metal direction along with some growls and screams as well as all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and the solos and leads that are brought onto the recording bring in more of a 70's doom metal.
Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length and also stick to a slower musical direction and as the ep progresses psychedelic sounds are added into certain sections of the recording and they also bring in a stoner rock vibe while the music also remains very heavy at the same time and one of the songs also brings in a small amount of clean playing before making a return back to a more heavy sound.
Do plays a style of stoner/doom metal that is very heavily rooted in the 70's but brings in sludge influences, growls and screams that take their music into more of a heavier and more modern direction as well as adding in a touch of psychedelia, the production sounds very dark and heavy for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Do are a very great sounding mixture of stoner, sludge and doom metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band and ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "For the Worms" and "Hex". 8 out of 10.
