Top ten albums of 2017. #8 Slow "V oceans" I suppose it is a forgone conclusion that my year's end list will contain at least one doom metal album. I have a voracious appetite for this stuff. There were a few releases by bands that were pretty big let downs in this genre. I was getting pretty bummed about the new crop of discs from the genre's main players. This album was recommended by my friend who lives in Switzerland. We share an academic love for metal and he has a good grasp of what i like in my molten metal stew. Slow are on the funeral end of the doom spectrum which means it's an apt moniker. Great production values and enough built tension to keep the album interesting. It might be that I've saturated myself with this stuff and that's why I'm so hard to slowly please but i returned to this album a bunch at night listening on headphones in the dark in bed as my family droned in a chorus of raspy snores (which absurdly sounds like an album i would check out). #slow
