2.The Last Dim Light I Breathe 04:32

3.Sadness 11:44

4.Leave 02:54

Haunted's second EP release 'Under Stars And Waves' - conceptually inspired by the notorious cliffs of Beachy Head and their tragic legacy as a suicide hotspot. Echoing the suffocating atmosphere atop the cliffs' peaks crowned with crucifixes, and the sounds of the blanketing, tomb-like sea below, 'Under Stars And Waves' drips in nostalgia, nightmares and stale death kissed wishes.

released April 23, 2019

Everything by Hysteria

One woman black metal / black gaze band echoing a vast, crumbling world of beauty and sadness through atmospheric and conceptually inspired music. Wavering between the lines of many bm subgenres such as ABM as DSBM, Haunted are authentically eclectic in their sonic style, threading melody into washed noise and hope into nightmarish melancholy.

CHALLICE OF SUFFERING RELEASE "LOST ETERNALLY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Lost Eternally (Atmospheric Death​/​Doom Metal)

by CHALICE OF SUFFERING (US)

Tracklist:

1.In the Mist of Once Was 09:36 video

2.Emancipation of Pain 10:05

3.Forever Winter 10:27

4.Lost Eternally 09:36

5.The Hurt 09:35

6.Miss Me, But Let Me Go 06:16

7.Whispers of Madness 06:30

US band CHALICE OF SUFFERING put out a remarkable debut that was very well received the world over and they've followed it up with what's possibly one of the best albums in the doom/death metal style. Where this kind of style goes, it's more about the emotions than the heaviness, and that's where this band excels. 'Lost Eternally' perfectly encapsulates the grief, the stinging loneliness and its bleak outlook. It's a well-rounded album that exudes the right feelings and it's something that's perfect for this time of the year, while being strangely palpable. The album plods on powerfully despite the weight, showing moments of melodic respite and even contributions from several guest musicians and vocalists to further enhance the proceedings. This is as genuine as it gets right from the underground. Delve into this heart-wrenching slab of doleful, atmospheric death/doom metal music and experience life at its cruelest.
