░█ █░ ▀
█ To create a somber and darkened form of music, █
█ which can bind together the harshness and █
█ aggressive sound of Death Metal or Black Metal █
█ with the sinister atmosphere and slow tempos of █
█ Doom Metal, is not a new thing into Metal. Many █
█ bands are doing this since the second half of the █
█ 90s. And as an heir of their efforts, from Spain, █
█ we have WOMB coming with their first album, █
█ "Deception Through Your Lies". █
█ The sound is heavy and abrasive, with slow paced █
█ tempos and long songs (something between six and █
█ nine minutes of duration), giving their music an █
█ entire darkened and intense impact. But they have, █
█ as well, a deep sense of melody, and even being so █
█ brutal and oppressive, "Deception Through Your █
█ Lies" has touches of elegance on their work, █
█ especially due some melodic guitar parts and █
█ solos. It's heavy, aggressive and melancholic. █
█ The sound quality is very good. It's raw and dirty █
█ as their musical efforts need to become a somber █
█ and heavy form of music, but as well, it's clean █
█ in a sense that their songs need to be understood. █
█ All that's left to say, in a simple way, is that █
█ the balance between the needed clearness with the █
█ essential rawness is a satisfactory way. █
█ The album has five songs only, but all of them are █
█ really good. "Echoes of Our Scars" is done in a █
█ depressive and heavy way, with some very good █
█ pianos on its beginning, before Hell comes in form █
█ of intense and good guitar riffs. On "Ends", they █
█ keep the same heavy and oppressive atmosphere, but █
█ some more melodic and elegant moments enter the █
█ song, with good grunts and excellent melodic █
█ guitars, and the same elements appear on "March", █
█ where some elegant and introspective guitar solos █
█ are great. The harsh and raw feeling of a funeral █
█ coming reigns on "Equidistant", where bass guitar █
█ and drums create a strong and heavy rhythmic █
█ basis, keeping the tempos slow and bitter. And █
█ "Forgotten by Her Bliss" is a final song, with █
█ very good aggressiveness presented, but with a █
█ darkened and morbid feeling. █
█ They are really good, but WOMB has potential to go █
█ further and explore new musical possibilities. █
