Review by Sonny for Flesh of the Stars - Anhilla (2017)
This is an atmospheric album of introspective doom, although the melancholy is expressed via a lighter sound than the usual crushing heaviness of most examples of the genre. It utilises heavy riffs only sparingly - the first doesn't really appear until about quarter of an hour in. I would add this to the growing list of albums that I consider as "doomgaze", that is to say, albums that, whilst still being rooted in the doom genre, have a more wistful sound than is usual... and it's a pretty good one at that!
