Skepticism - Farmakon (2003)

The third album from this band from Finland.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

Skepticism is one of the better and greatest bands in the funeral doom genre. A genre which will appeal a great deal to progressive rock fans too. I really like that genre a lot.

Their classic 1995 debut album Stormcrowfleet was a mix of death metal and funeral doom. A mix they continued on the follow up album too.

Farmakon sees the band use a lot more keyboards than before. 

The music is still pretty primitive funeral doom with death metal vocals.

The music is harsh, indeed. But still a bit softer than on the first two albums.

The result is another decent album from this band.

Check it out if funeral doom sounds like your cup of tea.
