Athenaeum Of Sin Reviews

Darkdruid – Exitio Mortem Review: An Extreme Death Doom band from the United States. December 18th, 2021 the band independently released their debut EP album Exitio Mortem (Latin for doom death), which would gratify fans of Autopsy and Cancer from the UK. Later, it was republished through Life After Death and promoted through Pennsylvania Music Fan PR.

Darkdruid – Exitio Mortem Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Consists of -yet technical and aggressive -but a heavy distortion of driven riffage.

Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves sick-brutal growls.

Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of various tempos, fills, strikes, and beats.

In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. As soon the listener immediately presses that play button, one is welcome to the opening piece MAULED, where the listener is welcome to an introductory instrumental of doom-driven guitars and drums and deep guttural vocals.

Continuing with the second piece, DEVOURED WHOLE, and the four remaining tracks, one will find that these dark druids will drag the listener down into the deepest and darkest parts of their musical domain – and within those domain walls, the listener’s ears will encounter a thick slice of extreme metal that will devour the listener whole. Simultaneously will melt the brain and put the listener’s ears and soul in a sarcophagus.

These dark druids provide the listener’s ears with “dark and heavy” extreme and raw music that’s influenced by acts such as AUTOPSY and the UK death-thrashers act CANCER while adding elements of brutal death, old-school death metal and the slow-heavy depressive atmosphere of doom metal -all wrapped in production and soundscape that’s rotten and raw as hell. At the same time, EXITIO MORTEM feels like it was recorded in a dungeon filled with torture devices and rotting corpses.

The whole music is evil and raw, provided and delivered by excellent devilmanship consisting of instrumental and vocal work of guitar artistry that’s -yet technical and aggressive -but a heavy distortion of driven riffage, heavy-drum strikes and beats, and sick-brutal growls.

EXITIO MORTEM is a perfect creation of six outstanding death-doom tracks that are short but well-arranged and composed. Again, in my opinion, what else is there to say -yes, the duration is short, along with the six short tracks, but the music is sick, brutal, evil, and heavy as hell!

I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. The music is raw, rotten, and heavy -a pure sinner of a headbanger!

Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. Cartoonish and sick – suits the music.

Finally, the review will close with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. With nothing to disrelish within the musical world of DARKDRUID. This concludes the Darkdruid – Exitio Mortem Review.
