Review by illusionist for Summoning - With Doom We Come (2018)

It's pretty clear that these are leftovers from the Old Mornings Dawn sessions. After the success of that album, this lighter-weight offering follows a few years later even though it took Summoning *10 years* between the prior two albums. If these songs weren't OMD cuts, then they're just rushed and underdeveloped.

While this would be a great album for most aspiring atmospheric black metal bands, the fact that the mighty Summoning name is attached makes it a disappointment. They can do much better. That said, the signature Summoning atmosphere is still here and I'm a sucker for it, so I can't knock the rating below a 3.5 or strong 3. And the title track, admittedly, is a true keeper.
