Description

Still sealed in paper sleeve

France’s Eibon are back with their sophomore album after their excellent debut Entering Darkness and II definitely pushed their sound forward with its adventurous format of two song for forty minutes of music. Eibon has ever been one of the greates bands that are able to mix doom, death, black, sludge and psychodelic metal and I do love the fact that they keep their brief tradition of releasing just two songs at a time. This time the band has added samples in French related to the First World War and this mixed with the awesome painting of Otto Dix, really evokes the despair and the mindless violence of The Great War. The suffocation of the trenches and the foul, deadly odour of the mustard gas are present throughout the long dirges. It’s not something romantic like the gardens of Versailles, it’s the dark look of 20th century France, full of bitterness, full of rivalries, full of corpses. Eibon’s sound is massive and ugly like a beautiful woman giving birth to a midget. It has this appeal that only the masters of the genre can achieve. Fans of doom and sludge should take notice.
