Mar De Grises - Draining The Waterheart

\r\nSecond album from this exceptional band from Chile. Mar De Grises is perhaps the only group that can combine with so much easiness Doom/Death Metal elements with the many Progressive passages and Post Metal drawings. Draining The Waterheart is the absolute continuity of The Tatterdemalion Express but in order to be sincere in the previous album, there were times that make me feel tired. These moments exist also here but they are less and good elements is what finally remains in our mind. The music of the band is based on dark Doom/Death Metal passages which in deed are enough unique and it is in to style that the band has created. There are certain riffs that remind us of Swallow The Sun but in general the has found its identity and this is something more positive. The tracks are extremely atmospheric and are characterized by heavy slow riffs, the ambient atmospheres and a lot of acoustic/melancholically/melodic passages. They are large in duration and they have a lot of alternations while vocals are mainly brutal and are typical for the genre.The production could have been a little better, as sometimes it is heard dull and chaotic (vocals are low in combination the music), but thus the album is very appreciable and unique and deserves somebody to listen to it. If you like experimental Doom/Death, then do not hesitate!\r\n
