From the Depths - Bereavement

Review by Cameron Webb

From the Depths' latest album, "Bereavement," is a powerful and emotionally charged release that showcases the band's ability to create dynamic and moving metal music. Drawing from a range of influences, including death metal, doom, and black metal, the album explores themes of loss, grief, and despair with a raw intensity that is both cathartic and haunting.

The opening track, "In Memoriam," sets the tone for the album with its mournful guitar riffs and somber melodies. From there, the band takes the listener on a journey through a range of emotions, from the crushing heaviness of "Sorrow's End" to the eerie ambience of "Ghosts of Yesterday."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Void," which features guest vocals from Mikko Kotamäki of Swallow the Sun. Kotamäki's haunting vocals add an extra layer of depth to the already powerful song, which explores the emptiness and despair that can come with loss.

Summary by Cameron Webb

"Bereavement" is a stunning release from From the Depths. The band's ability to blend different styles of metal into a cohesive and emotionally resonant album is truly impressive. Fans of heavy, atmospheric music will find much to appreciate here.
