I still learn every day. I’ve had never heard of the style Dread Metal, but Desert Crone seems to play it. So what does Dread Metal mean? In the case of Desert Crone it is a combination of heavy traditional Doom Metal along with some Stoner (fuzzy guitar sound), Sludge and a slight pinch of Death Metal. I can imagine Black Sabbath and Cathedral are huge influences. The vocals are more scream-like than a growl, which I didn’t expect to be honest. Not sure if this will get high scores within the Doom/Stoner scene, but for me, as a Death Metal adept, I can’t say I’m impressed. But I’m aware it’s my taste speaking here… (Ricardo)
