Finnish heavy metal power trio Monsternaut unleashes an overdose of authentic fuzzed out grooves throughout the third album “Approaching Doom” recorded entirely the old fashioned way.
Straight to the point “Evicted” relies on the heavy weight of guitars and increasingly darker atmospheric nuances to successfully build multiple thrilling grooves.
The title track instantly channels old school heavy metal influences focusing on the gritty guitar sound and recurring sharp leads well supported by a monumental harsh rhythmic section.
Raw energy runs through “Drain” as guitars diligently deliver an addictive riffage and the whole instrumentation continues to follow a majestic groovy pathway.
“Black Blizzard” doesn’t need special effects to hit hard due to the monolithic guitar riffs and thunderous drums engaged in a relentless rhythmic march.
Devoted to heaviness “New Order of Bliss” features pummeling drums and unstoppable chunky guitar riffs that can rightfully acquire murky doom elements.
“Heavy Monday” keeps the same cold doom inspiration within the belligerent rhythmic ensemble spiced up by the rebellious attitude of the vocal performance.
Monsternaut proudly chooses analogue equipment to achieve a genuine sound perfectly symbolized by the stomp-inducing guitar driven grooves of “Approaching Doom”.
