Remembrance - Fall, Obsidian Night
The problem with Funeral Doom is that it is apparently extremely difficult to make interesting. I’ve heard countless bands try to fuse its glacial tempos with Black Metal and/or Ambient, which almost never seems to really work out. There are, however, some artists that make it appear effortless, such as the slow-motion gods of the abyss known as Skepticism, Shape of Despair, Thergothon, Ahab, Wraith of the Ropes, and Asunder. Now add to that elite list France’s Remembrance, which has improved with each recording over the years, and now, with Fall, Obsidian Night, finally reached perfection. Carline Van Roos’s beautiful voice occasionally washing over the exquisite musical oppression is sublime. The tortured vocals of Matthieu Sachs are as suffocating and bleak and amazing as the music itself, which is nothing less than awe-inspiring in its haunting devastation. This is a masterpiece almost beyond description.
