CheapSweets Pick 'n' Mix - Best of 2022

What is it?

Call Down the Sun, second full album from Danish blackened death doom band Konvent (that's Konvent with a K, thanks).

Konvent is;

Rikke Emilie List - Vocals Sara Helena Nørregaard - Guitars Heidi Withington Brink - Bass Julie Simonsen - Drums

What is it like?

Having a wall fall on you. But in audio. And in a good way. I think ;)

This band has a truly massive sound, skirting the edges of epic funeral doom, but they are very much their own thing. The bass and drums are uncompromising throughout, but there's also an underlying groove to the bass and guitar that means it's more than just a (glorious) wall of noise.

As for the vocals, Rikke List is one of my new favourite vocalists; it's deep and fierce and powerful, and listening to her reminds me of the first time I ever heard Angela Gossow.

Finally, some of the tracks (particularly Harena, the album's closing track) have that certain something that gives me a shiver when I listen to it.

Also, guest cello (and violin) by Feliz Havstad (more doom + cello? I'm starting to think I have a taste :D )

Lyrics such as:

The will is just a grain of dust The will is just a grain of dust But I find that when whirlpools replace the grasp of desert storms Then each grain of sand is just as clear as day, how it forms! Eyes on the horizon, I stand right where I fell And here she comes, the shining orb I know so well

Don't just take my word for it:
