Atriarch
Atriarch formed in 2009 and as of this writing have
five albums to their credit, the one reviewed here being
the third in 2014's
An Unending Pathway.
The band slots loosely in the doom camp, but this
is not your typical
Candlemass
clone,
as influences ranging from darkwave to sludge to
post-rock and even the occasional black flourish
combine seamlessly to present a powerful and original style.
A fine and diverse vocal performance ties it all together,
as Lenny Smith's singing ranges from the more prevalent
intoned crooning to the occasional harsher approach.
It's gloomy and despondent, but also compelling.
