Archivist - Doors

Review by Jorge Morera

Archivist's album "Doors" is a deep and thought-provoking journey through the band's unique blend of post-metal, post-rock, and ambient music. The album is a concept album that explores the philosophical and emotional themes of opening and closing doors in life.

The opening track, "Opening," sets the tone with a hauntingly beautiful guitar riff that builds into a crescendo of distortion and heavy drums. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a series of tracks that blend melancholy melodies with crushing riffs and atmospheric soundscapes.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Promise of Sleep," which features a stunningly beautiful vocal performance by guest singer Emma Ruth Rundle. The track builds slowly, with Rundle's voice soaring over a backdrop of shimmering guitars and atmospheric synths.

Summary by Jorge Morera

"Doors" is a deeply emotional and immersive listening experience that showcases Archivist's unique blend of post-metal, post-rock, and ambient music. Fans of bands like Neurosis, Cult of Luna, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor will find plenty to love here. Highly recommended.
