Isole’s classic impressive Doom Metal debut album finally available on CD again!

If you think Doom Metal to be nothing but depressing lyrics and vocals, minor keys, and tempos slower than a bulldozer you are probably right. Doom Metal is infamously notorious for being extremely listener-unfriendly, mainly for its plodding nature. Riffs are repeated an abundance of times, and the music makes you feel like you will fall over in exhaustion at parts. However, there are some doom bands that break this mold. Older My Dying Bride, newer Candlemass and some Cathedral are quite a bit more listenable; they have interesting song patterns and melodies, and untouchable vocals in places. Isole falls into this pattern as well.

As a debut album, this was and is impressive. It is every bit as good than albums released by Doom Metal bands that practically founded the genre. In an era where countless bands just follow the formulas set by their predecessors, Isole expands on the work of their predecessors and makes Doom Metal enjoyable and listenable. Perfect for those just getting into Doom Metal, and even those who have listened to Doom Metal a lot will love this as well.
