Review:
Here
is a stunning début album to check out from a fantastic Doom Metal
band by the name of Poisoned By Life. Their début album – The End
– is a dark and heavy depressing affair which offers a fresh spin
on the Doom Metal scene as they include elements of Occult based Hard
Rock.
The
End is 36 minutes that will chill your soul to the bone. The riffs
are fucking awesome through out. It's a shame the band are currently
on hiatus as they have created a brutal and highly intelligent album
that not only embraces the Doom Metal philosophy but also asks some
thought provoking questions which there are no easy answers to. Death
is a big factor with Poisoned By Life's music. It embraces the dark
murky worlds of Doom Metal that you wouldn't normally hear on a début
album such as this.
The
album will leave you feeling mighty depressed and I am OK with that.
As Doom Metal should make you feel uncomfortable and questioning
hard-hitting subjects such as Death and the Afterlife. Opening track
– Burning – opens your mind to this dark and mysterious macabre
world that Poisoned By Life have created here. If you don't like this
track then it's best to turn away right now as the band don't change
course at all for the remainder of the album.
By
the time – For A Dying Man – appears I am at the mercy of this
great band. The riffs are relentless and the mood is bleak
throughout. I need to find a way of escaping as I seriously need a
rest for the dark unrelenting vision the band have bestowed upon to
the listener.
The
End is a stirring, complex and highly challenging album that will put
a lot of people off. I loved every brutal and bleak second of it.
Download this now if you're looking for something dangerous,
depressing and wholly original. It's available on BandCamp Buy Now

Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
