The masters of funeral doom are soon to release their long
awaited full-length album "Farmakon" but awaiting that one we are to enjoy
this taster mini album which contains two classic Skepticism tracks. The
reason why they have been labelled as funeral doom is that their brand of doom
metal is very slow and depressive which is the way a funeral usually feels
like. Finnish people are for some reason more depressive than others and the
suicide rates are very high in Finland compared to many other countries. I
doubt that Skepticism is to blame for this but they are to blame for making
excellent doom metal for a decade. The music is heavy and slow, wonderfully
enhanced by the use of an organ, and the vocals are the deepest possible
growls. Skepticism has been able to make growling sound depressive instead of
aggressive which is not an easy task. I should perhaps have rated this release
higher but since it is only a mini album I rest my case until the full-length
arrives some time later this year. A very fine band that you should get to
know closer if you are into depressive music in general and doom metal in
particular.
