French occult psych-doom. There is currently an overabundance of retro-cool doom metal that, one way or another, probably traces its roots back to Electric Wizard (obviously, Black Sabbath is a given.) So what makes Deathbell any different? Well, not much.
But for one, there's a lady vocalist, and a shit-ton of reverb on the vocals, which helps in making for an otherworldly, almost god-like quality. Which leads me to number two: they sound like they're serious, and actually wrote songs with considerations for things like composition, dynamics, and conceptuality, as opposed to a bunch of stoned dude-bros jamming out and singing about voodoo women and space travel. And three: keyboards, keyboards, keyboards.
So, in conclusion: this is a great album. And it's free/name your price on bandcamp.
Track listing:
1. With the Beyond

3. Come to Trouble
4. Over the Rim
5. They Still Wander
