So yeah, a 48 minute Funeral Doom album/track. This is an album that was way out of my comfort zone. I found it while searching for music under “Post” category, saw that it was a one track album and thought about giving it a shot. I was surprised at how much I was enjoying what I was hearing, and here we are because of it.
The Wright Valley Trio focus on atmosphere 100%. This track is very haunting, long, repetitive, and heavy. Most of the time, it’s all kept pretty simple; heavy hitting slow riffs accompanied by slow and crushing percussion. Sometimes there’s even less elements present in the music. A couple of notes are thrown at you, with a very minimalistic hi hat pattern on the background (I hope you like the “ts, ts, ts, tstsTSS” present at the very beginning of the album because that pattern appears a lot).
If what I’m describing sounds attractive to you, you should check this out. If it doesn’t, you shouldn’t, it’s as simple as that. It’s good funeral doom, but nothing that will click with people who already know and dislike this type of music. Regardless, I believe this track accomplish what it sets out for, even if I’d trim it down to 40 mins if I could.
