The First Three Sins of Cursed With Blackened Tongues
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Tumanduumband and their album, Cursed With Blackened Tongues.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features of omitting the guitar and employing only bass guitar, which consists of slow-heavy, doom-driven lo-fi, fuzzy-white noise. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves omitted and replaced with an unsettling and soul-crushing instrumental atmosphere. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into the vast world of slow-pounding drum patterns and dense and pure evil beats.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Music that’s both sinister and evoking at the same time
Immediately after the listener presses that play button, one is welcomed to the self-titled opening piece, which welcomes the listener to this heavy and ritual instrumental intro.
As the listener continues their journey with the second piece, Thou Shall Burn, and the remaining two pieces, they are plunged into a world of dark and unsettling music. It is a fusion of doom-metal heaviness and ominous, ritualist riffs.
The drums pound relentlessly, crushing everything in their path, while eerie samples and enchanting voices weave a spell of evil and darkness around you. The Satanic and ritualistic instrumentation only deepens the sinister atmosphere of the music, leaving you feeling both exhilarated and uneasy at the same time. The evoking evil samples and enchanting voices accompanying the music only deepen the sense of unease and darkness.
The Satanic/Ritual instrumentation adds a sinister atmosphere to the music, with each note and chord evoking images of dark and foreboding rituals. The mood created is exhilaration and trepidation as the listener is taken on a thrilling and unnerving journey. The music blends heaviness and haunting melodies, leaving an indelible mark on the listener’s ears and soul.
Tumanduumband stands out from most doom-metal acts! Most bands create their heavy-doom sledgehammer music using an entire instrumental set-up. In contrast, Tumanduumband built their heavy-doom sledgehammer music by the use of the bass guitar consisting of slow-heavy, doom-driven lo-fi, fuzzy-white noise/reverb apocalyptic and hypnotic riffs, samples, and drums.
Creating a Satanic/Ritual sound of their own and mood. Thus creating this pure-blood ceremony and Satanic majesty — filling of deep, sick, conjuring dark grimoire music.
The album comes to an end with the last song, Drowned In Acid. We want to give a shoutout to Tumanduumband for letting us review their album, Cursed With Blackened Tongues. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
