June 2025 - Featured Release - The Fallen Edition

June arrives with me as the holder of the sacred nomination for The Fallen clan this month.  We have enjoyed an early bout of summer here in the UK and what better way to revel in all this glorious vitamin D than with a good old chunk of death doom rumbling away in the background.  I have nominated Structure's latest album, Heritage for the feature release this month.  In what has been a slow year for new releases of quality in the death doom section of The Fallen, the debut full length release from the Utrecht based, largely, one-man outift is a welcome arrival.  I am only a couple of spins into it but have picked up a few points that have made me want to come back to it.

As always, let us know your thoughts in a review or in the thread below.  All opinions welcome.

I have almost completed an initial listen-through and I've got to say, I am loving this so far. It hits the sweet spot between heaviness and lighter melancholic wistfulness exceedingly well. It also weaves in some nice melodies that hook themselves into you and linger in the mind. I will definitely be returning this for a full review at some point during the month. Great pick, Vinny.
