The Whorehouse Massacre - End Of Days And Time

This is another installment from the very dark world of the one man Doom machine known as "The Whorehouse Massacre".The first effort i got from them was "The Death Tree" which was a apocalyptic Droning Doom Fest but this one sounds even darker and heavier in some ways.At 35 minutes its a exhausting listening journey but a enjoyable one if you like you Doom,slow and as threatening as possible.The opening section sounds like Sleep on downers,i mean this is a slow grinding,lumbering riff that has you on the edge of your seat wondering where its all going but does it go anywhere at all.Well not really,its a repetitive,hypnotic riff that drones its way for some 23 minutes before there is a subtle change in the riffing but that is where the magic is.Other bands have done all this before,Sleep's Dopesmoker/Jerusalem being the most famous example and this is just as good in my opinion.I have often thought as much as i love Sleep those albums have become a little overrated in recent years.You have to be a fan of Droning Doom to appreciate this but if you are of that frame of mind,this is will become a favorite.It conjures up thoughts of some apocalyptic world and its haunting atmosphere keeps your attention if you sit back and let the riff wash over you.There is not much to talk about with this from a musical standpoint,its really just a couple of riffs droning out in a controlled but a tension filled manner.Its strength lies in the fact that its like a horror soundtrack of nightmarish proportions,this is not the sort of thing to party with.Its a late night,listen to by yourself exercise in droning ambiance.This is for those among us who dig Sunn O))) etc etc but if you need riffs and lots of them then might be too much to sit through.Personally i think is one of the best projects going around at the moment.9/10
