Melodic black metal band Jernlov posted this on FB; apparently they've got a new project and it's sounding gooooood!  It's got a doomy, emotive, post-black metal feel - though it's hard to tell much from a relatively short clip.  I'll definitely be watching out like a hawk for more from them!

Ever since all of you at the CMR corrected some of my genre definitions I've had a bit of an emotional disconnect with associating Doom with quiet, folk, acoustic, melodic female vocals. I know much of it isn't this, but alot is!

I just chuckled listening this 'cuz I was expecting Gutteral growls, heavy plodding drums, and drop-tuned distortion. 

Don't get me wrong--it was very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to more music from these guys!

I don’t really think of doom as typically having those characteristics. Maybe I’ve been listening to the wrong bands.

Maybe I have as well! 

Remember last fall I had Kerrick, Mothy and CrimsonWarrior give me a few doom band suggestions?  From my memory, Nick Leonard, Leonov, Docnargath, Omegashift had long acoustic/slower/melodic singing sections, and Omegashift isn't actually all the heavy.

Again, I enjoy all the music. I've just been surprised at how non-metal (according to my old definitions) some doom has been.

Some of those I would not call straight doom metal.

This is definitely not doom metal!  To my ears though, those slow guitars give it a dark and doomy atmosphere.  From that sample, I'd probably categorize it as primarily post-black metal - but with a darker vibe than, say, Alcest or Deafheaven.

As for the genre of doom... it's a pretty broad umbrella.  Traditional doom is Place Of Skulls, Warpriest, Black Sabbath, etc.  Once you start mixing doom with the more extreme metal genres (black, death...), it becomes a whole different beast.

How 'bout I rephrase a little bit?  Soulblight (members of Jernlov) 1f600  Soulblight (members of Jernlov) 1f609  Soulblight (members of Jernlov) 1f60e 

I was surprised that a black metal band would post a completely acoustic clip as a teaser. 

Is that better you two?!

Yes, but we still require penance.

Interesting. I wish the clip included a bit of vocals. Hope we can hear more of this soon. At least it was longer than the teaser for Frost Like Ashes' latest EP lol.
