DAMNATION GALLERY - Enter the Fog

Quite a unique release from these guys first time ever hearing them and what their gig is like. They have some darn good riffs and the vocals are an acquired taste.  But good!  I'm surprised that they haven't been really reviewed before.  I'm glad that they found me because they're looking for press.  I believe that this one ('Enter the Fog') is their strongest release to date.  They're totally dark musically and the sound quality is sub-par but I like the music on here.  And do dig the vocals for what they're worth on this recording.  It's moderate metal, moderate in the sense of heaviness.  But the album is 51 minutes and I really think this band has a bright future.


They have some variations to their riffs some songs really slow or clean as a song called "Erased."  What a gem that one is!  But for the most part, this album is somewhat brutal musically.  Just they change it up but the riffs are pretty slow distortion except for that one (outro track).  The vocals were actually pretty clean.  Reminds me a little bit of "Planet Caravan" by Pantera only female vocals.


These guys have a whole helluv a lot to offer the metal community.  I wasn't convinced the first few songs I heard but this one grew on me.  Not a great deal of lead guitar work and that's OK.  I think their riffs are catchy and somewhat melodic.  They knew how they wanted this to turn out and did a great deal to make it underground.  These guys have a good career ahead of them.  And again, I'm glad they reached out to me!  I only have nothing but good things to say about this release.  Loved the guitars and vocals.  But I must warn you, it make take time to grow on you as it did to  me.  I appreciated this much more on repeated listens to.


Some good songs that I've found to be besides the one I mentioned above are "Angomarcia", "Never Say Goodbye" and "Fog."


Interesting band and they're going to make one helluv a career in the metal genre!
