En las Espesas Nieblas - De memorias y destinos (2005)

   The influence of bands like Paradise Lost, Katatonia, Moonspell, Tiamat, ect. was very common to find in the main scene of the '00s. Especially at bands who played doom and death/doom related music. Even if some of them preferred to switch styles, their gloomy gothic or dark touch left a recognizable mark in the music of newer bands.
   The situation was not different in the case of En las Espesas Nieblas either. Like every worthwhile doom metal album, their one and only full-lenght release starts with rain too, and noises of flute adding some spiritual impression to the starting gloom. Their music definitely belongs to the modern sound of doom (with archaic recording quality and rehearsal sound), but they also involved plenty of classic influences. The depressive melodies and clear singing are longer lasting of course, but the heavier themes assisted by growling vocal creating some balance by their temporary and effective show up. The various catchy themes and occasional speed ups (only to middle speed) could be a source of excitement for those who don't find the genre totally boring. The extended song lenghts giving enough time and possibility to enjoy the dark and gloomy anguish. The songs were well composed and could be suitable as background music for long term depressive agony.
