Black Boned Angel - Verdun

Review by Paul Talbot

Verdun by Black Boned Angel is an immersive and intense album that takes the listener on a dark and haunting journey. The New Zealand-based experimental drone doom band creates a visceral and atmospheric soundscape that is both unsettling and captivating.

The album's title track, "Verdun," is a 40-minute epic that is a tribute to the Battle of Verdun during World War I. The band's use of heavy distortion and layered drones creates a sense of chaos and despair that captures the brutality of war. The track builds and evolves, with the addition of eerie choral vocals and haunting guitar melodies.

The album's other tracks, "Endless Coming" and "Eternal Love," are equally haunting and atmospheric. The band's use of repetition and slow-building tension creates a sense of unease that is both hypnotic and unsettling. The addition of haunting vocals and subtle instrumentation adds depth and texture to the album.

Summary by Paul Talbot

Verdun is a powerful and immersive album that showcases Black Boned Angel's mastery of experimental drone doom. It is a must-listen for fans of the genre and anyone looking for a dark and haunting musical experience.
