US funeral doom metal at its best, for fans of Evoken

Temporarily leaving majesty aside, Bleak And Everlasting brings
the project back to its prime, funeral doom sounds. Melody,
keyboards and synths are still a trademark, but expect no clean
vocals (and often no vocals at all), no hopeful openings, no dim
lights filtering through the clouds. On its seventh full-length
record The Howling Void is all about bleakness and nothingness
once again. Four tracks spanning between eight and thirteen
minutes across which melancholic synths and abyssal riffs
remind of early Shape Of Despair, will drag you to the most
unfathomable of depths.
”Bleak And Everlasting was recorded during an extremely
difficult period in my life”, Wilson recalls, ”and as a result, this
album is bleaker and more hopeless than all that came before.
The central theme is the feeling, experienced during deep
clinical depression, that each day seems to last forever, and it
every moment is excruciating. The endless boredom, lack of
motivation to do anything, lack of interest in everything – it all
seems to make each day pass by incredibly slowly. On top of
that, the same pattern repeats day after day after day. This is
what the album is really about – endless miserable days,
repeating over and over and over again, with no end in sight and
no change in pattern”.
