Desolation who i think without checking it out fully have all the recordings available for free download at the moment.You should take this opportunity and check them out if you are in the mood for some quality Drone.Overall this is pretty minimal Drone but crosses over into different styles and textures within the genre.I downloaded all the recordings but for this review i concentrate on the self titled release,they have a couple of split albums with other bands that are excellent but i will do them in a different review.This album really stands out in the world of Drone,at times this album reaches in some dark metal realms and yet other times has a "Syd Barrett Pink Floyd " feeling about it.This is very sparse for the most of the album but has some big atmospheric guitar passages.Stand out tracks are "The Mourning Light" and "Vehemence" which really make for great late night mood music.Overall the passages are very dark sounding which i think is the only way to produce good Drone.This could fall in the category of Drone Doom but is also very Psychedelic in places.Kudos must go out for some guitar freak out sections and some evil sounding growls and chants you hear in the background of some of the tracks.This is one of the better Droning Doom CD's i have heard in a while,the genre has lost a bit of quality in the last year but with bands like Desolation around it proves it still has a future.8.5/10
