BY THE PATIENT
“Premonitions”
(Deathbound)
Lately I’ve come upon more Danish bands than I’ve done in the last two decades. I like it. It means that the Danish metal scene isn’t as dead as it might have seen. In my youth Denmark was the closest pale to go if you wanted to see any great metal bands since most tours stopped in Copenhagen. Most new Danish bands that I’ve heard have all been death metal. By The Patient are no different. I can hear an At The Gates reference in their sound. That I like. At The Gates is one of the best Swedish bands to ever have existed. Anything that slightly reminds me of them gets the thump up. By The Patient are slower and heavier than most death metal bands with making them death doom. This was a positive surprise. Anders Ekdahl
