Reviews list for Dark Matter - The Ghosts of Dunwich (2019)

The Ghosts of Dunwich

The Ghosts of Dunwich is the third album from Norfolk's self-proclaimed "progressive doom" duo Dark Matter. They take heavy, fairly simple, Sabbathian riffs and fashion them with a 1970's progressive sensibility, reaching it's apex on the 19 minute, three-parter, In a Fractured Land Parts I-III, that closes out the album. It's evident that this is a real labour of love, with an ambitious songwriting vision that maybe exceeds the duo's technical ability, none more so than in the vocal department. Saying that, the sheer enthusiasm and belief of the band shines through in every note and a band playing the music they want to play without any compromise is definitely something to be applauded.
