Aldebaran - ...from Forgotten Tombs (2008)

   Aldebaran was formed in 2003 and became known as sludge/doom metal band that sounds more similar to a funeral doom/death metal band.
   It took some time until their late sound evolved, and the beginning part of it's development, their debut single and a split album appearence was re-released on this compilation. The band have started at the very basics, with the raw, noisy and raw punk influenced old school style of sludge metal, that referred back to bands like Buzzov•en and Eyehategod. Shortly after on their first split album they involved doom influences and wrote longer songs, which had a heavier effect already, but didn't lose the basic sludgy themes. Growling-like vocal showed up too on the side of the cawing shouting style. Their lyrical topics are also more death metal related, since they were horror inspired, and that seems to explain the unusual further slow down lately: in their case the music adjusted to the lyrical concept. The main impression is still more like chilling like at stoner/doom bands, since at the doom metal themes they also turned back to the classics. Recommended for the fans of sludgy doom.
