Napalm\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
The Dutch\/Swedish joint venture THE 11TH HOUR sports death metal veterans Ed Warby (GOREFEST, HAIL OF BULLETS etc.) and Pim Blankenstein (OFFICIUM TRISTE). The first album \u201cBurden of Greif\u201d (2009) featured Rogga Johansson of THE GROTESQUERY\/PAGANIZER etc but he was too ill to carry on here. In stepped Pim, their live vocalist, and here is the result.<\/p>\n
Seven tracks on a full album means doom, but also a new guitarist role (drums too though) for Ed. First served is \u201cWe All Die Alone\u201d, with a synthesizer intro and a grand melody \u2013 sadly somewhat let down by the growls. I\u00b4d love to hear a version with clean vocals though. From then on the class is higher the cozy riffs, the softer paces, the sheer slowness of the likes of the duet \u201cReunion Illusion\u201d is ticking all the right doom boxes. As a Swede I start as the CANDLEMASS riff of \u201cTears of the Bereaved\u201d hits my ears. Album closer \u201cBury Me\u201d has a lingering keyboard pattern, an epic grandeur of sadness and beauty in equal proportions and growls that actually fits. Schizophrenic as it may come across I think you should lend THE 11th HOUR an ear. <\/p>\n
