Autumnal - Grey Universe

Autumnal is a Spanish band that already started in 1996 and released two demos before releasing their deburt full length. So after 10 years their debut "Grey Universe" is unveiled upon the depressive masses. Autumnal plays the old school doom metal like the old My Dying Bride or Anathema. Nice melodramatic vocals, sluggish guitars and the use of a cello in long duration songs. The cello has a great part in the songs and that make them more attractive and give them something special like the trumpets of Sear Bliss. "Grey Universe" creates a nice moody atmosphere where more is less but leaves enough tension to play it from head to toe. The only remark is that it is released on Xtreem as they release more death/thrash bands but obviously those guys are amigos.
