Skepticism - Companion (2021)

The sixth album from this band from Finland.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The so far latest album from this band. A band who are one of the pioneers in the funeral doom genre. 

Their 2015 album Ordeal saw the band loosen up a lot and introduce some stylish keyboards to flesh out their new twin-guitars lineup.

Six years later and the band returns with a lot heavier and much more epic funeral doom. There are still some melodies here but the vocals are a mix of death and black metal. 

The keyboads/synths makes the music a lot more epic.

This fifty minutes long album is not for the faint hearted and those who likes light and fluffy music. This album is as heavy funeral doom.

The quality is decent to good and this is a band well worth checking out if you want to explore the funeral doom genre.
