Formed in Gothenburg in 2016 Firebreather fully manifests their own sludge-doused doom style through the crushing grooves of the fourth album “Blood That I Spill Turns To Fire”.
The potent rhythmic section of “Only In The Eyes Of Others” diligently follows a courageous doomed pathway constantly fueled by abrasive riffage and murky atmospheric accents that ensure an impactful beginning without the need for special effects.
There is an evident doom worship on “El Cuervo” as relentless guitars focus on heaviness and obscurity generating colossal groovy dynamics perfectly complemented by the thunderous drumming and the tormented vocal delivery.
The title track builds a massive rhythmic wall without any hesitation as the palpable raw energy of guitars provides unstoppable gritty riffs surrounded by a mysterious aura that certainly amplifies the dominant heavy tonalities.
The somber finale comes with the gloomy heavy weight of “Shrines” as the band’s passion for classic doom leads to lugubrious guitar progressions and slower ghastly rhythmic segments that often can evolve into a tempestuous rampage.
Firebreather proudly embrace a straightforward stoner doom formula as monolithic guitars march fiercely throughout the dismal sonic realm of “Blood That I Spill Turns To Fire”.
