DEPRESSIVE MODE 'Tales From Lonely Lands'

Year: 2011 (Self-released)
2013 by GS Production

World Doom Metal scene doesn't stop to surprise us by itself scopes, despite that it can sound is paradoxical. Probably, in the each country there are own exemplars of this genre. Of course I won't to recount all these collectives because right now the speech will go about the Turkish band named "Depressive Mode" (not to confuse with Finnish "Depressed Mode") is project created by two enthusiasts of a genre.

Musicans needed about 6 years that to write the first album "Tales From Lonely Lands", but in this case time was spent not for nothing, and the debut marked really a good start of group, especially if to consider from where this band. On this record the potential of musicians only starts to disclose, nevertheless already we can feel "sprigs" of future, more mature works.

So, this album is an example of a tough and a trifle dirty sound on the cold, detached background of a synthesizer which by the weightless texture clouds everything around, like a fog. The instrumental component is constructed on the rigid, "greased"  riffs and diluted by slow and methodical keyboards which create effective contrast between dense darkness and melancholy. 


Moreover, some things presented on the album aren't metal in habitual sense of the word and by way of this daring conclusion it is possible to give compositions as the ambient "Came To Die" and neoclassical "Bridge Of Moonlight".  Nevertheless, all these receptions are only auxiliary, enriching a musical cloth, the basis of that it is heavy, viscous music with very low, "funeral" roar.

Generally, the beginning is hopeful as already at first steps reached rather high level and despite at some flaws as quality of a recording we can enjoy incredibly sincere sound, and the despondency reigning in the music gets into the most intimate corners of soul.
