Mourning Beloveth - Dust (Sentinel)

I want to start off by saying this is a very artistic CD. MOURNING BELOVETH are, in my humble opinion, the best doom metal band out there, even better than MY DYING BRIDE. MOURNING BELOVETH have a distinct sound, with "emotional" riffing and vocals. The drums are slow, so is the riffing, which adds much effect to the melancholic atmosphere that they do a good job of producing. You have two vocals, one is singing and the other is a guttural deathmetalish growl. The solos are really good, again, emotional, and the acoustic guitar is used throughout parts of the CD which adds significant effect. I'm still undecided on what the is best part of the CD was, the vocals or the guitars, because they seem to me equally as good. These guys are excellent musicians, and really know how to play their instruments. If you asked what my favorite song was on "Dust," I couldn't tell you, because all of them are equally good/perfect. That brings me to another point, while listening to MOURNING BELOVETH I couldn't think anything other than perfection. This is the best doom metal CD I ever listened too, and I say this without even the smallest bit of hesitation. 110/100!!!
