Cemetery Fog – Towards The Gates LP

Hot on the heels of the critically acclaimed Shadows From the Cemetery tape, CEMETERY FOG strike while the iron’s hot with a brand-new 12″ MLP, Towards the Gates. While the CEMETERY FOG on said cassette was a rumbling ‘n’ rough-hewn one, the Finnish duo have made a startling progression on Towards the Gates, refining that doomed-out Metal of Death into one that’s more mature, majestic, and absolutely mournful. In many ways, the CEMETERY FOG of now bear more than a passing resemblance to the early ’90s school of UK doom-death – crushing yet emotive, melodic yet sorrowful, deathly yet graceful – but with an eerie, mystical touch all their own.
