Skepticism - Lead And Aether (1998)


The second album from this band from Finland.

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

Their 1995 album Stormcrowfleet is a classic album in the funeral doom genre. I bought it the same year and really loved it. It was (great) news to me that the band is still with us and has released some more albums. Albums I am now reviewing in this blog this winter.

 Lead and Aether continues on from Stormcrowfleet. Dark funeral doom with death metal vocals.

The band tries to create a funeral like ambience on this album. The far from perfect sound makes the music even more gloomy.

These fifty minutes is not for the faint hearted. The music is not particular complex either. The keyboards is trying it's best to add more complexity to the music. It fails.

This album is more like an addition to Stormcrowfleet but with some weaker material. Hence..

1.5 points
