Specialists/collaborators reviews

Warthur
Shape of Despair is a Finnish funeral doom band which is aptly named; this is because they stick roughly to the general sort of shape and sound that funeral doom metal bands are expected to and don't offer all that much in the way of unexpected twists or sharp corners to spice up the reheated leftovers they are offering. Angels of Distress ticks most of the funeral doom boxes whilst never, to my ears, quite adding something special of its own to the genre's blueprint aside from some unconvincing gothic touches. Funeral doom fanatics will probably enjoy it, but I feel that few of them would rank it amongst the best works of the genre.
