Catacombs - In The Depths Of R'lyeh

With 6 songs you think you have an EP but take a look at the duration ofht e songs. 10 Or 16 minutes is normal so you can speak about a full length. Catacombs is a solo band from a guy called Xathagorra (ex-Hierophant), but I don't know this one too. The doom on this disc is slow and slower with high sounding guitars, stomach breaking voices and limited with melodies. This funeral doom is perfect for those who like to read H.P. Lovecraft with some background sound but if you can't stand this monotone sound you probably too vivid in this life.
