Wiegedood - De Doden Hebben Het Goed I (blue clouds) - gatefold LP
Label: Consouling Sounds
Colored Vinyl
Price: 21.99 Euro
De Doden Hebben het Goed is Wiegedood's debut album, but we can hardly call this a debuting band. The band members have already proven their worth in other acts like Amenra, Oathbreaker, Hessian, Rise and Fall? This is surely an interesting gathering of musicians that immediately raises high expectations. And they deliver. Big time. Against all expectations, the result of this collaboration has nothing to do with post metal, sludge or hardcore. In stead, Wiegedood treats us to a relentless onslaught of atmospheric black metal. The music might be categorized in vain of the cascadian black metal wave from the US, but they bring their European twist into the mix. The title De Doden Hebben het Goed covers the album perfectly: it's a very bleak take on extreme metal music, but never loses touch with the band members' other projects.
