CD Review: MERDARAHTA As The Dark Clouds Swept Away We Could See The Sunset

MERDARAHTA
As The Dark Clouds Swept Away We Could See The Sunset
Mass Salvation Recordings
Noise doom. A pleasant surprise to the ears. The record keeps a sense of unease about it whilst playing with your worst fears and nightmares. Craftfully created, arranged and composed, Merdarahta deliver an experience that will keep you thirsting for more. Wounded is the stand out track for me here. It is everything you look for in a doom metal song. The guitars are sorrowful, the vocals full of that reverb filled creepiness, slow, sludgy and most importantly, doomy. This record is a good example of how to incorporate noise/harsh noise with doom and create an atmosphere of unease and certain death. I invite to step into this realm, and face your nightmares head on. You can thank me later. -Erik Martin
