ECHOES OF YUL “Cold Ground”

ECHOES OF YUL
“Cold Ground”
(AvantGarde)
There’s that word again; Post. Whenever I see the word post I get a strange feeling that I’ll be taken on a ride that won’t end well. With post meaning after something you can place it in front of anything and alas everything will appear much more intellectual. So when ECHOES OF YUL are being described as post doom metal I for one expect something that will take traditional doom metal one step further. Not that traditional doom metal needs to be taken a step further. It is just as great as it is. I would like to describe this as ultra heavy and slow funeral doom. Kinda what I expect funeral doom to e. it moves slower than a snail and it is darker and more brooding than the foreboding apocalypse. This makes Esoteric seem like a happy bunch of guys.
