Description

German cd promo in promo paper sleeve.

The Committee is an international collaboration of black-doom musicians from diverse nationalities. The band was formed in the winter of 2007 and debuted with Holodomor EP in 2013 and the debut album Power Through Unity a year later. Their sophomore album, Memorandum Occultus (2017), could indeed be interpreted as an armchair philosophical call to arms, pointing fingers and firing warning shots in matters regarding governmental complacency and religious brainwashing. The album has a great concept of lyrics combined with first class epic and atmospheric mid paced black metal. The beauty of all this is that nothing is hidden but presented in plain sight; everything here has been done before, the melodic, rumbling riffs perhaps evocative of Mgla or Aeternus of a past era, ready to be discovered by the discerning ear and dissected by equally receptive minds. Namedropping the best in the business here doesn’t just demonstrate the caliber of The Committee‘s abilities but also tells other like minded bands to step up their game.
