Dream Long Dead/Madness Dead Grave - Invocations Three To The ONES That Lurk At The Threshold/2012 CD Review


  Dream  Long  Dead  are  a  band  from  Greece  that  plays  a  mixture  of  doom/death,  punk  and  sludge  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2012  album  "Madness  Dead  Grave-Invocations  Three  to  the  ONES  That  Lurk  At  The  Threshold".

  Drums  are  all  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  are  all  slow  to  mid  paced  heavy  and  dark  riffs  that  combine  doom,  death  metal,  sludge  and  punk  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  some  distorted  effects  and  a  brief  use  of  soft  and  clean  playing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  dark  sounding  old  school  doom/death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  all  old  school  sounding  death  metal style  vocals  that  go  back  to  the origins  of  the  genre,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Occultism  and  the  writings  of  H.P  Lovecraft,  as  for  the  production  it has  a  very  heavy,  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  while  you  can s till  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  with  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Dream  Long  Dead  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  doom,  death  metal,  punk  and  sludge  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should c heck  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "The  Dead  Dream  Under  Our  Skin".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
