Loimann are a band from Italy that plays a mixture of psychedelic, sludge and stoner metal and this is a review of their 2015 album "Drowning Merged Tantras" which was released by Behold The Ruins Records.
A very dark sounding drone starts off the album along with some spoken word samples and after a couple of minutes clean playing and psychedelic sounds are added onto the recording and after the intro the music starts to get more heavier and you can hear elements of doom, sludge and stoner metal being added into the bands musical style.
When vocals are added into the music they bring in a mixture of clean singing, growls and high pitched screams and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and the clean playing and psychedelic sounds that where present on the intro also makes a return in certain sections of the recording and the music also brings in a decent amount of melody.
A good portion of the tracks are very long and epic in length and when solos and leads are brought into some of the songs they bring in more stoner metal elements to the bands musical style and one of the later songs also see the return of spoken word samples along with a small amount of female vocals and the songs stick mostly to a heavy slow to mid paced musical direction and they close the album with a psychedelic sounding intro.
Loimann plays a style that mixes the heaviest and melodic styles of doom, sludge and stoner metal together and they also add in a good amount of psychedelic elements to create a sound of their own, the production has a very dark yet professional sound while the lyrics cover dark and philosophical themes.
In my opinion Loimann are a very great sounding mixture of psychedelia, sludge, doom and stoner metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "One Last Fiery Thrill" "Worsen Flow" and "Morbid Conclave". 8 out of 10.
