The Austrasian Goat - The Austrasian Goat

I almost hate describing or reviewing stuff like this. Music that is so simple, yet so deep, has always been intriguing yet baffling to me. What i can tell you is that The Austrasian Goat is a solo project from France, with mastermind Julien Louvet at the creative helm. Here he creates crushing, atmospheric black metal/funeral doom hybrid of sorts not too much unlike Nortt. By now i have thrown out plenty of comparisons and references for you to know you either are, or are not interested so i will quit wasting your time.

Urna - Iter ad Lucem



Very recommended band featuring Locus Mortis, Absentia Lunae, and Arcana Coelestia . When im in the mood for funeral doom this band never fails to deliver. Thick guitarwork with dissonant riffing, well done keyboard passages for ambience, low death and black metal vocals and spot on creative drumming. Overall the musicianship is excellent but if youve heard the above mentioned bands you would already expect that and as a whole, i find this to be very creative.

Catacombs - In the Depths of R'lyeh

Awesome relentless and fucking absolutely crushing funeral doom from Moribund. Get it.
