Zaum - "Eidolon" (full album)

Τούτη η ανάρτηση φρονώ πως δεν αφορά τον μέσο metalhead. Όχι γιατί η μπάντα δεν είναι αρκούντως "μεταλλική", αλλά γιατί με τραγούδια που υπερβαίνουν σε διάρκεια τα είκοσι λεπτά δεν είναι κι ότι πιο ευκολοάκουστο. Ο λόγος για τους Zaum. Οι Καναδοί psychedelic doom metallers κυκλοφόρησαν προ διετίας τον δεύτερο δίσκο τους υπό τον τίτλο "Eidolon", ο οποίος περιλαμβάνει μόλις δύο τραγούδια, είκοσι ενός λεπτών έκαστο! Ψυχεδελικό doom με έντονο το ανατολίτικο στοιχείο. Όσοι πιστοί προσέλθετε...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Zaum is a passage toward the dark realizations of ancient civilization; in the form of a monolithic doomy mantra based meditative experience forged by bass and drums interwoven by sitar and synth textures. Based in New Brunswick - their live presence is very true to its recorded form featuring McDonald's both melodic and dark vocal styles met with elements of sectional Mongolian throat singing. Observers experience a calming process of reality whereby the astral and physical planes can co-exist and be understood from a natural perspective. »
