Halberd – Remnants of Crumbling Empires CD

Halberd – Remnants of Crumbling Empires CD (Black Plague) Death Doom Metal. It would be challenging enough to put together an album the quality of Remnants of Crumbling Empires while standing in the same room as one another; yet Halberd have accomplished this across at least three continents. An international band whose constituents somehow unified their visions enough to manufacture what is hands down one of the most memorable death/doom hybrids we've heard lately, by adhering to an important philosophy: that the strength of this niche comes chiefly through riffing and atmosphere. If you like DISEMBOWELMENT – and you better! - you will love this. Emotional, dynamic, melodic in most parts, dissonant in others, and purely crushing. Gorgeous cover art that makes us laugh at mp3s. Again.
