Bad dreams come true...

Genre: groove/doom metal

Once a depressive black metal band, Forgotten Tomb have really undergone a transformation. On the previous album "... And Don't Deliver Us from Evil" from 2012, that transformation was already in progress, as that album was a blend of black, gothic, and doom metal.

The transformation seems to be complete on "Hurt Yourself and the Ones You Love", which features next to no black metal elements. Apart from a sense of dissonance which is probably inherited from black metal and a couple of blastbeat sections (notably in 'Bad Dreams Come True'), this album is much more of a bled of doom metal groove metal, and death 'n' roll. And I must say, this is pretty good. The production is solid, and the songs are crushingly groovy and doom-laden, and the growled vocals add a feel of death metal to the mix.

Fans of crushingly groovy doom metal should check this album out.
