Visions from Beyond is the brainchild of Oli Mason from Bristol. A Death/Doom project, Oli plays slow, plodding riffs with simple drumming patterns on his second release, the ‘Drawing Down the Darkness’ EP. His real talent lies with his vocals which are a filthy, putrid affair; revoltingly guttural and come from deep down int he bowels. If I’m being honest this isn’t the most cohesive of releases. Its stodgy and blocky, the rhythms are basic but it does still have a dank, murky atmosphere so that’s something. So to sum up, great vocals and lots of atmosphere, but I’m hard pressed to enjoy the rest.
