“Dwell in the Fog” surprises from the very beginning with “Kiss of Your Blade” which showcases a strong and thick Metal music with alkmost no traces of Doom. Regarding to rhythm and cadence the album is kind of monolithic as many of its peers. The six tracks in here don’t change a lot. There are no big plot twists and variations throughout the album. Well, this is, of course, expected from a Doom Metal band to which variations aren’t mandatory. The main difference is the vocals. I mean, this kaind of vocals isn’t the most common to have in Doom Metal bands. It’s about how the vocalist deals with the limitations of this kind of voice and make it even stronger. The way things are musically arranged to fit into this special voice. The guitars, for instance, are tuned lower than the ususal. It’s a way to make them fit better and sound even more heavier than the usual. Don’t get me wrong, the main feature here is Black Sabbath’s heavyness as the fan may check on the tittle track “Dwell in the Fog.” The guitars in it are pretty damn Tony Iommy.
In a nutshell, Firebreather – hey, what a cool name – managed to be the heavier as possible. That’s really something. “Dwell in the Fog” is an album that may attracted not only Doom metallers. That’s something as well. Ah, I forgot to say about the amazing album cover. So simple and yet so complex. Pretty doomy if I have to say it.
Firebreather “Dwell in the Fog” will be released on February 25th via RidingEasy Records.
