WEEPING SORES – ‘FALSE CONFESSION’

Gloriously magisterial Death Doom from NY trio Weeping Sores. Theirs is a chasmic and funereal yet architecturally astonishing sound, a crushed velvet pall of biblically accurate angelic Doom Death Metal. Intricate riffs compounded and roused with Violin suites adorn the bier, stately percussion hammers a funerous drudge deep into the earth with eyes cast upwards in stargazing wonder, vocal a commanding melancholy bellow of extra low death exhalation. Moody and heavy, rousingly gloweringly pensive, graceful and despairing. The earliest (and best) works of the Peaceville three are good touchstones here, as is dISEMBOWELMENT’s forlorn masterpiece ‘Trancendence into the Peripheral’, but Weeping Sores also commands a majestic presence all their own, uniquely poised between beams of piercing light and swathes of vacuous, crushing darkness. Hyperion Death Doom.
