Arctic Sleep Arbors (2012)

Morgue of Saints is a solo project founded by Elliot C, based in Montreal, Canada, founded with the goal of releasing experimental and doom metal created and crafted solely by himself.Sleep/Death is an instrumental experiment with abrasive drones, heavy percussions, acoustic and orchestral elements. It contains three pieces:Sleep I: an orchestrated piece accompanied by heavy droning guitars;Death: a very abrasive drone metal piece, heavily inspired by Earth’s debut album;Sleep II: a slow, mournful, but intense funeral doom piece.

The new album from Finnish doom death metal band Astral Sleep demonstrates brilliant skills of musicians which have reached higher level. Four tracks, almost an hour in length, create magnificent visions featuring rich color palette. The group operates with epic riffs, graceful acoustic interludes, harsh guitar strokes pierced with excellent melodies and diverse vocals. Preserving their original style familiar by the previous albums the musicians succeed to combine doom death metal with traditional epic doom metal in a single perfect works with carefully mastered sound. «Visions» is the album for thoughtful listening, the music for those who is able to perceive.
