| | Description: | Mit ihrem Debütalbum "Reflections" haben GODTHRYMM eine kolossale Platte von heftigem, traurigem und hämmerndem traditionellem Doom entfesselt, die an die klassische �ra der 90er Jahre des UK Doom/Peaceville Records erinnert. "Reflections" ist ein massiver Schritt nach vorne und wohl am meisten Hamish Glencross ( MY DYING BRIDE, SOLSTICE, VALLENFYRE) zu verdanken, der GODTHRYMM weiter in das Reich des Doom in dunklere und melancholischere Bereiche führt. Durch Glencross' leidenschaftlichen Gesang, der seine kraftvollen Riffs zusammen mit Steels' donnernden Drums ergänzt, die GODTHRYMM diesen massiven, glorreichen Sound verleiht, ist "Reflections" ein Zeugnis der glorreichen Tage des UK-Dooms, während es gleichzeitig sein Statement als eine neue Kraft des modernen Doom-Metals zum Ausdruck bringt.
GODTHRYMM fangen den klassischen Vibe des UK-Dooms der frühen Mitte der 90er Jahre ein
und sind die erste (Doom-Metal-)Band aus dem Vereinigten Königreich seit den 90ern, die diesen
klassischen Vibe von Paradise Lost/My Dying Bride/Anathema etc. einfängt. - EX-MY DYING BRIDE/VALLENFYRE/SOLSTICE/ANATHEMA MEMBERS!Godthrymm was formed in 2017 by vocalist / guitarist Hamish Glencross (ex-My Dying Bride / Vallenfyre / Solstice) and sees the respected UK metal luminary returning to his doom metal roots, creating the music he helped forge with Solstice (on the legendary New Dark Age album) and especially with the heralded My Dying Bride during the 2000 - 2014 time period. Further adding to this band's pedigree of doom is ex-My Dying Bride / Anathema drummer Shaun Taylor-Steels who, after some slight lineup refining (following the band's A Grand Reclamation debut EP), became part of the band's core with Glengross, and the two would subsequently end up recording this colossal debut album Reflections (the duo would add bassist Bob Crolla following this recording, making them a true power trio of doom).With this debut, Godthrymm have unleashed a colossal slab of heavy, mournful, yet pounding traditional doom that harkens back to the classic era of '90s UK doom / Peaceville Records. A massive step up from the debut EP, it's the result of Glencross taking the band further into darker, melancholic, and more towering realms than before. Through his soaring passionate vocals complimenting his powerful riffs, along with Steels's thunderous percussion, the rhythm section attains a massive glorious tone. Reflections is a testament to the glory days of UK doom, yet makes a statement as a new force to behold.Issued in a standard jewel case with clear tray and a 12-page booklet.
