Solitude Productions, 2009
There’re only five songs on this new opus from S:t Erik. Yes, the band name is very strange unless you live in Sweden and create the most obscure, cold and dark doom metal…and you’re named Erik.
This is a piece of a very spacey doom metal with a lot of psychedelic influences. Some of the riffs, esp. in the opening song “Goddess” remind me of Black Sabbath, the same does the vocals throughout this release. There’s a great deal of this crying echo voice and it definitely scary me a bit.
The guitars are down-tuned all the time, while this five piece band includes a lot of synths in their sound. It gives this special atmosphere of cold and depressive yet beautiful Nordic winters. Or put in a different way; these Swedes are capable of creating fantastic atmosphere delivering very solid musicianship. If I wasn’t informed I would say that they are giants of the genre but this is actually only their debut, but what an awesome debut it is…!
