Doomcult are a band from the Netherlands that mixes the traditional, atmospheric and funeral styles of doom metal together and this is a review of his 2016 album "End Of All Life" which was released by Morbid Syndicate.
A very dark and melodic doom metal sound starts off the album and the solos and leads also use a great amount of depressive melodies and after awhile grim vocals are added onto the recording and they also mix in rough style clean singing at times and as the album progresses the music starts getting heavier.
Some of the tracks are very long and epic in length and also mix in influences from the 90's United Kingdom atmospheric/doom bands while also mixing in elements of funeral doom at times and spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and growls are also used at times while all of the songs stick to a very slow musical direction and one track also brings in a brief use of classical guitars.
Doomcult plays a musical style that takes the traditional, atmospheric and funeral styles of doom metal and mixes it in with a first wave black metal vocal approach to create something very different, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics are a concept album based upon desperation and despair.
In my opinion Doomcult are a very great sounding doom metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Master" "Wrath" and "End All Life". 8 out of 10.
