Konvent are an all-female four piece from Copenhagen who play ultra-heavy, sludge-inflected death doom metal. Formed in 2015 and putting out a reasonably well-received four-track demo in 2017 the band now present their debut full-length album, Puritan Masochism, via Napalm Records.

Slow, heavily downtuned riffs with twin vocals combining deep, abyssal growls and harsh, desperate shrieks to provide a suitably ominous sound that has a vaguely unsettling effect. The production is perhaps a little too clean for this style of doom metal and the songs ultimately lack variety, but it is heavy as hell and, if taken for what it is, is food and drink for adherents to the death doom ethos - not every new release has to break the mould after all!
