CLOUDS Doliu (Green Vinyl)

Popis:

The Circle Music welcomes Romanian doom/deathsters Clouds, a deeply cherished band that has carved out its own distinctive sound and identity. We will be releasing the complete Clouds discography on vinyl: albums long unavailable for years, alongside others that have never before seen a vinyl pressing. Our journey together begins with the reissue of their debut album, "Doliu". Doliu feels less like an introduction and more like an initiation rite. It is not a record that announces itself loudly; instead, it unfolds slowly, like a veil of heavy fog settling over a winter landscape, demanding silence before the first note is even heard. From its opening moments, it becomes clear that doom/death metal here is not merely a genre framework but a language one spoken in grief, weight, and inward contemplation. The sound of Doliu is firmly rooted in the tradition of doom/death metal, yet it avoids the trap of imitation. The guitars move with deliberate slowness, their riffs not striking but gradually crushing, like tectonic forces whose power is only felt with time. The distortion is dense and almost viscous, giving the impression that each chord drips with burden and memory. Drums follow a ritualistic pulse, often restrained, allowing the compositions to breathe within their own gravity rather than pushing them forward with unnecessary force.
