After twenty years British doom metal band Warning is ready to deliver the proper crushing dynamics to celebrate the glory of doom on the new album “Rituals of Shame” written during a transformative period.
Without any hesitation the title track reveals the band’s colossal doom style as the potent rhythmic section hypnotize the audience maintaining a relentless funereal tempo enriched by the solemn vocals and the foreboding guitar leads.
“Stations” meticulously combines heaviness and emotional depth as doom laden guitars effortlessly shift from mournful melodies to intense riffage with recognizable old school sound.
“Night Comes Down” continues to follow a slow paced dirge to amplify monochromatic harmonies, cathartic melodic motifs and expansive darkened vibes through the impeccable dreary guitar work.
“Teacher” marks a super gloomy sentimental finale as the slow burning guitars favor dramatic melodies and theatrical vocals emphasizing a deeply sorrowful rhythmic dimension.
With the release of “Rituals of Shame” Warning makes a strong comeback and proves the relevant role of classic doom metal in the current scene.
