DORMANT INFERNO / DIONYSUS – Beyond Forgotten Shores 2x CD

Description

This is kind of an odd one….a double disc split record. Why not just put out two different albums? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a split CD go across two CDs before. Anyway, that aside this is absolutely class. Dormant Inferno are from India and play superb death/doom. It’s melodic and melancholy but still heavy and with a bit of an agressive edge. Reminds me of the Asunder record A Clarrion Call. Excellent. Dionysus are from Pakistan and play a kinda gothic black doom. Again, it’s executed brilliantly and complements the other band perfectly. These guys both sound like they could’ve come out in 1991 and if they had, they’d have been huge. Like the weird but strangely compelling cover art too. Favourite release of the month for me, very highly recommended!
