Emperor of Hell - Canto Xxxiv

2021 release, the third full-length album from the epic doom metal masters from Italy. The album is lyrically based on Dante's "Divine Comedy", not surprisingly again the "Inferno" part of this opus, which offers a wealth of grim and allegorical imagery. It's full of sophisticated melodies, doom-laden heavy riffs and strong, desperate sounding vocals. What sets them apart from other doom metal bands is the intense guitar shredding/riffing and powerhouse double bass drumming that sometimes verge on thrash. If you're into bands like Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Sorcerer, Memento Mori, Forsaken, Evangelist, Thunderstorm, Procession and Crypt Sermon, do not hesitate to check it out!
