Within
Tears is a band from Brooklyn, New York, USA, who (apart from admiring my
website...) play slow, melancholic doom metal. The band only consists of two
members who earlier used to play in a demo band called Subjection who played
shows with renowned acts like Deicide, Carcass, Type O Negative and Candiria.
As a doom metal band you must have: 1) a male growler with a monstrous voice
and Within Tears do; 2) painfully slow riffs, Within Tears do; 3) longer than
average songs, Within Tears do; 4) emotional songs, preferably also enhanced
with the use of piano, violins or something else and Within Tears has this
also. Apart from actually having the necessary elements this is band who also
does the whole thing very well. You might expect the sound quality to not be
so good since they have financed the recordings of this debut album themselves
but it sounds very good indeed. The only thing that doesn´t sound too good is
the drum machine. Most of the vocals are of the growling kind but there are
also some clean male vocals similar to those of My Dying Bride. This album
also contains some of the most beautifully serene female vocals I´ve ever
heard (done by Barbara Nolan) and this is something the band should develop
further. A good first effort from an ambitious band that are currently already
working on new material and looking for additional touring members. The cd can
be purchased for $7.50 through the band's website at http://withintears.virtualave.net/ or through Amazon.com.
