This German outfit was a true underground doom metal
phenomenon,
releasing a cult demo by the name of
Last Tape Before Doomsday
(later re-released on vinyl and CD, with the name changed
to
Last Vinyl ...
and
Last CD ...
as appropriate)
in 1999 as well as several exceedingly rare splits and singles,
with their initial breakup
coming in 2001 after founder/vocalist "Mad Max" Varnier
jumped off a bridge to his death.
Several years later the other half of the original duo
(guitarist Daniel Pharos) put a new version of the band
and as such released
Dooom (yep, with three o's)
in 2007.
This is true, classic funeral doom, on par with the
Thergothons
and
Esoterics
of the world, featuring impossibly slow riffing,
minimal percussion, distant death growls, and of course
an overbearing feeling of despair and hopelessness.
Funeral doom in general plays to a very small,
select audience, and
Dooom is for that very audience
and no one else (meaning, if you're not into funeral
doom, you won't like this, and if you are, you will).
