CARONTE “Ascension”

CARONTE
“Ascension”
(Lo-Fi Creatures)
I have in the past complained about instrumental metal. To which I find myself liking bands that aren’t that full of vocals all the time. I really like the instrumental interludes that bands like Dream Theater (prog metal) or Dawn (black metal) have in their music, where the vocals take the backseat and the instrumentalists get to show off. CARONTE might be a completely different beast to the two previous mentioned metal bands but this lot too have those parts in their music where the vocals take a back seat. I’m a huge fan of doom metal and this is some pretty cool stuff. Think Cathedral mixed with Candlemass and you get a pretty good idea where this lot is on the map. Anders Ekdahl
