The Cold View/Weeping Winter/2012 Album Review


  The  Cold  View  are  a  1  man  band  from  Germany  that  plays  a  mixture  of  drone  and  funeral  doom  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2012  album  "Weeping  Winter".

  Drum  programming  is  all  slow  beats,  while  the  synths  bring  a  very  dark  and  depressive  ambient  sound  to  the  music,  as  for  the  bass  playing  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  tone  with  primitive  drone/funeral  doom  riffing  that  dominates  through  out  the  recording.


  Guitars  are  all  absent  from  this  recording,  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  deep  funeral  doom  growls  mixed  in  with  some  black  metal  screams  on  the  last  song  while  the  lyrics  are  a  concept  album  about  the  winter,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark, raw  and  primitive  sound  with  the  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  The  Cold  View  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  drone  and  funeral  doom  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Grey  January"  and  "Mournful  March".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
