Sweden, Bulgaria and Spain. Not really a combination you would probably think of when you listen to the Death / Doom Metal tunes of Nangilima. Yet, thanks to the digital possibilities these days, it is possible. After releasing 3 singles, “The Dark Matter” is the debut album of these guys. Like almost all albums in this particular genre, it sounds heavy and melancholic. Its mostly slow with an occasional keyboard to enhance the atmosphere. A slight heavier and darker version of Swallow the Suns “The Morning Never Came”, yet also less catchier. The growl is monotonous, which shouldnt be a problem if you manage to create variation with the riffs, accompanied with the atmosphere created by the keyboard. I keep an eye on their next album, as I think they can do better than what they are showing with “The Dark Matter” (Ricardo)
