out this weekend: Ecclesia: De Ecclesiæ Universalis

This album stands out immediately. Ecclesia is doom, let's say along lines that are more traditional, a lot more more heavy metal, a lot more metal. The music by itself will make you move a lot more than a lot of doom bands, actually. There is definitely headbanging metal here, as this is not shoe gazing slow music. They might be too metal for some doom fans that prefer yoga doom, but if you want a more active form of doom, then this album may be such a pleasant, really pleasant surprise. Good musicianship, and good songs and all. Then, just you wait until hear this singer! This individual has a very nice, a very nice indeed, pair of lungs. It's a real singer, for a change, not just some person doing their best with their limited skills (not that we don't appreciate that, either!), but this singer is on another level. Lots of doom has pretty ok or average vocalists. This is different. If you want a more energetic style of doom, and you have been waiting to find you a new doom band with a vocalist that sings for real, then don't miss out on this one. You won't regret it, that's for sure. --Metal Bulletin Zine
