Review by Sonny for Totengott - Doppelgänger (2017)

Spaniards Totengott's debut is a three-track slab of death doom that also has a significant amount of Celtic Frost in it's DNA. I really like the old-school switching between death metal and doom but what really makes it for me is how they take that ancient egyptian / sumerian vibe that CF exhibited and incorporate it into their sound. Never more so than on the final epic, the 20 minute Doppelgänger, that takes many a twist and turn 'ere it's tale is done, coming on like an unholy alliance between CF, Autopsy and early Nile. Keep all your modern technical bollocks, for me this is Death Metal Heaven.
