Midryasi - Black, Blue and Violet (2013)Release ID: 15005
Brilliant album of prog-influenced doom from Italian band Midryasi. Memorable songs infused with that singular quirkiness that italian doom is well-known for. The prog influence is never more prevalent than on second track, Diagonal, almost sounding like it was taken from Porcupine Tree's superb Fear of a Blank Planet album. The overall feeling engendered by the album is more upbeat and positive than is usual in the doom genre, it even feels, at times, positively humourous. If you fancy a bit of prog / doom genre-bending then give it a try.
