Age Of Taurus - The Colony Slain (2018)

The second album from this band from Great Britain.

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

This is their second album on their doom meta/stoner rock label Rise Above Records and it was, probably the band was, marketed as progressive doom metal.

Hence they lured me to get this album and now..... finally reviewing it.

The music is tight and compact. Not any notable solos here. The music is also a mix of old style thrash metal, stoner rock and doom metal.

The thrash metal is notable here. These thrash metal pieces is cool and it is many, many years since I have heard some run of the mill thrash metal. The more familiar mix of stoner and doom metal is also pretty neat.

This forty-five minutes long album is hovering somewhere between half-decent and decent. The majority of the songs are decent and that is what I am landing on. I have no plans of reviewing their debut album, though.
