ASPHODELUS (Fin) – ‘Dying Beauty & the Silent Sky’ MLP

After two critically acclaimed releases Finland’s Cemetery Fog are reborn as ASPHODELUS. The three expansive tracks (and obligatorily somber intro) show that the band are not totally tethered to the usual doom-death tropes – particularly those of the early ’90s UK scene – and now can incorporate the mournful mysticism of classic Greek black metal, like early Septic Flesh and Horrified.
