Founded by veteran multi-instrumentalists Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernández Milla, Todomal meticulously shape their own doom creative pathway on the refined new album “Graveyards of Joy”.
The stylish first track “Mare Ignis” is characterized by an evocative atmospheric approach as sophisticated arrangements surround gloomy guitars and immersive melodic crescendos.
“Lucid Nightmare” focuses on groovy doomy dynamics to instantly grab your attention as soaring guitars deliver robust riffs and recurring elegant harmonies further amplified by multilayered dreamy keyboards and impeccable melancholic vocals.
The slow burning doom progressions of “Point of Coalescence” highlight the somber presence of crushing riffs and striking leads while the decadent atmospheric tapestries convey a significantly darker mood.
The Hammond takes the center stage on “Deliverance” enhancing an irresistible vintage flair and a deeply contemplative mood around the sentimental vocal delivery and the opulent guitar melodies.
The title track relies on an ideal mix of grave doom riffs and heart wrenching arpeggios that maintain a captivating melodic flow once again perfectly complemented by intricate atmospheric textures.
“Graveyards of Joy” closes a deeply personal trilogy reaching a fascinating emotional depth as Todomal confidently craft a collection of dark songs with enthralling cinematic motifs and poignant melodies.
