A solid album by an absolute stalwart pilgrim of Doom. Great review of the Nomad Son The Darkening in the latest issue of War On All Fronts Fanzine (the zine should be out by now; its available in digital format as well... and the review is also on Metal Archives with a 73% score). Heres an fragment: (...) Compared to their first two albums this is pretty slap bang on par as far as quality goes, but if you are partial to Trouble/Candlemass-styled traditional Doom Metal with heavily accented but emotionally overwrought vocals and a rough lo-fi approach to production and keyboards then look no further. As with previous releases the thing most quickly noticeable about opening track “Light Bearer” is the church organs which have a very Mediterranean Catholic vibe to them, as well as how Jordan Cutajars vocals tend towards the histrionic side of things. (...) Tonally he is on the rougher end of the mid-range with some admirable falsettos, kind of like how I imagine a Dio tribute singer smoked 20 a day would sound. (...). Thanks to Matthew Buarainech Moore for his in-depth review! Even though we definitely wouldnt agree on the rough lo-fi approach to production part - it (fortunately!) doesnt sound modern/overproduced but its not lo-fi either. :)
