Review by Sonny for Obed Marsh - Dunwich (2019)
Australia's Lovecraft-obsessed funeral doom merchants, Obed Marsh, switch their attention from The Shadow Over Innsmouth to The Dunwich Horror for this, their second album. Doom, particularly funeral doom, seems especially suited to conveying the atmosphere of lurking dread that is such a huge component of Lovecraft's literature and Obed Marsh make a respectful and respectable stab at it. Although I prefer the debut musically, this album's atmosphere is more fitting to the story upon which it's concept is based. In my opinion, this is a band who deserve far more credit than they have (so far) received.
