Of the Vine - Left Alone (2020) EN


"The prettiest doom metal band you've ever heard", that's how the Americans of Georgia making up Of the Vine are described. Their third album called Left Alone clearly shows why it's definitely true.

Although the compositions here can't be described other than long post-metal epics, they are built in such a way that they have to be called attractive if not sexy. Using not my words: they constitute "a blend of stylistic approaches that comes together into something breathtaking that can crush listeners and then lift them up in a single moment". Agreed. They are so well written, surprising, not shy to address complex ideas and doing so in a virtuosity-full way.

So don't be surprised when Left Alone alone will offer peaceful, instrumental ambient with airy vocals just next to monumental guitar soundscapes. Actually, the vocals themselves deserve a huge plus all together, they are situated somewhere between Ryan Osterman of Holy Fawn and Jakob Berglund of A Swarm of the Sun. This completes such fantastic tracks as the ever-changing I'm Morrisey, I'm Dead, chaotically loud Forelorn or final Ilfracombe. One of my favourite albums of the year already now.

Left Alone costs 6 USD`.
