EMBR - 1823 (2020)Release ID: 22515
Female-fronted doom outfits are becoming ten a penny nowadays, but EMBR are a decent prospect. Crystal Bigelow's vocals are excellent and guitarist Mark Buchanan has a great "rolling thunder" tone, but the songs are nothing we haven't heard before and the couple of attempts at harsh, sludgy vocals were ill-advised. Still, there is enough here for fans of the whole doom-with-female-vocals genre to enjoy, myself included.
