Northwinds are Parisian doom veterans that actually have much in common with the Maryland Doom masters, but you won’t find many albums out there that sound like this one. What at first sounds like the soundtrack to an early nineties horror film develops into 55 minutes of cinematic soundscapes and proggy doom with atmospheres of wintry coldness and distance. ‘Winter’ was released more than a year ago on Black Widow Records but only just got to me through a recommendation by Steph LS of Temple of Perdition blog. Fans of horror, prog and doom will find a lot to love with this album. I can’t stop spinning it!
