Count Raven - Storm Warning

Review by YunTaek Yi

Count Raven's 1991 album Storm Warning is a classic doom metal masterpiece that has stood the test of time. The album is full of heavy riffs, intricate guitar solos, and powerful vocals that create an ominous and foreboding atmosphere throughout.

The opening track, "Intro/Count Raven," sets the tone for the album with its haunting choir vocals and slow, heavy guitar riffs. The rest of the album follows suit, with tracks like "Inam Naudemina" and "True Revelation" showcasing the band's ability to craft epic, doom-laden compositions.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Scream," which features a memorable chorus and some of the album's most impressive guitar work. The album closes with the epic "Until Death Do Us Part," which features a slow, mournful guitar solo that perfectly captures the album's melancholic tone.

Summary by YunTaek Yi

Storm Warning is a must-listen for fans of doom metal and heavy music in general. Count Raven's masterful musicianship and songwriting make this album a timeless classic that still holds up today.

Comments

A generic, predictable, and amateurish brand of Dark/Progressive Rock pretended as "Epic Doom Metal", Count Raven's debut album is essentially a Candlemass/Saint Vitus rip-off. The singer is a mere Ozzy Osbourne imitator, and the D-tuned songs don't offer a single hook. Only "A Devastating Age", with its E/A-minor progressions and Classical guitar, seems like an Empyrium outtake. The lyrics are simple socio-political statements against the "system", the CIA and USA in general that are even less effective than those of Glenn Benton's demagogic ineptitude. "Leave every hope, O thou who listen".
Does anyone know what the title "inam Naudemina" means?
Only listening to this album today. Damn I could've been jamming this for years. Oh well. Glad to know there's always more fantastic doom metal.
epic classic Count Raven.
SECURE AND CONTAIN WE ARE THE BEST IN RAINBOW 6
The album cover is nice.
Great Classic of what we now call "Traditional Doom Metal" .
Fav album by them some very serious doom era
another Black Sabbath copycat. what is the point ?
the singer is talking
The lyrics in 'In the Name of Rock 'n' Roll' are surprisingly relevant to our present political climate. Lol. They totally predicted that shit. I guess they were about the glam rockers of that period in time, but they work very well with some of the crazier aspects of Western culture going on at the moment.
