Ultra necro sound, with all the hype that means... no cruelty here, though, since Catacombs deliver good doom metal in the vein of the dirtier bands of the genre. Funeral as hell, really. Originally recorded in 2001, this re-edition excreted by Solitude Productions acts as a reminder of an underground band almost forgotten. Going to the music, this is a sheer primeval recording, even in the shape of remastered tracks which conform this release. Yes, I can't see significant differences between original and revamped versions, the essence is there and that's the point. I said 'primeval' since we're before a crude recording of a monolithic dark doom metal without any unexpected moves nor variations. The classic typical doom patterns where you only need the fingers of a single hand to count the different riffs or chord sequences of a track, that's what you'll find here. There are other classic acts who set the foundations of the style in a more interesting and inspired way; Catacombs didn't really invent the wheel, nor anything similar. If you haven't had enough of cold, grim and simple doom, Catacombs would quench your thirst for a while and become a good acquirement to join your CD collection. Add the fact this re-release is limited to 500 copies and you'll be happy for a while. Slow, deep and hard vibrations ready to get into your brain and infect any trace of joy...
