Doom Snake Cult - Love, Sorrow, Doom (1992)

   When "Love, Sorrow, Doom" came out by Doom Snake Cult, the style and the vocals sounded very familiar to the more obsessed fans of underground music, and they thought it's a new founded actual project of Goatlord members.
   If some sources are correct, this material was recored before "Reflections of The Solstice" and only the vocalist was in both bands. The much better quality could be confusing too, and the fact that this album is not so raw like Goatlord was. The main concept is the same: blasphemic dark rituals with death/doom musical background from the very depths of underground, but by a softer tone. "Love, Sorrow, Doom" sounds less experimental, but still it's an outstanding album from the main American extreme musical scene. And it's also more similar to the style of South American bands like Goatlord, even though the noisy, atmospheric features that resulted some black metal-like feeling were gone. But still this album is an interesting event of the early and that time rare death/doom subgenre.
