Moss
Tomb of the Blind Drugged
Rise Above
Moss is a band known for their painfully trudging, claustrophobic 20-minute occult obsessed dirges. While this may not sound appealing to most, doom/drone metal fans everywhere who crave nothing more than to be actually killed by sub bass frequencies will rejoice over this release. Like an even more drug-wracked, drone-paced version of Electric Wizard that opted to trade the bass guitar in for an organ, Moss drags the listener kicking and screaming into the Tomb of the Blind Drugged. This time around they embrace a much more vintage guitar tone than in any of their previous endeavors while still maintaining the atmosphere they’ve come to be known for—Doom replete with eerie Aleister Crowley-esq chants, torturous screams and riffs that challenge the earth’s gravity to keep it in one piece.
