From: Doomed to Darkness
Published: May 18, 2016
Subterranean Disposition are a solo project from Australia that plays an avant garde mixture of doom and death metal and this is a review of his 2016 album "Contagium And The Landscapes of Failure" which will be released in June by Hypnotic Dirge Records.
Nature sounds along with some clean guitar playing starts off the album and after a minute the music goes into more of a heavier doom metal direction while also having some experimental sounds in the background while the clean guitars are also used on the later tracks as well and all oft he musicla instruments have a very powerful sound to them.
Saxophones can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with some elements of post rock and after awhile death metal growls also make their presence known on the recording along with a small amount of black metal screams and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while most of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
Melodic vocals can also be heard in certain sections of the recording and they also give the music more of an avant garde edge and their is also a brief use of female vocals which are done in more of an operatic style. and a later song also introduces violins onto the recording and the whole album also sticks to a very slow musical direction from beginning to ending of the recording.
Subterranean Disposition plays a musical style that takes doom/death and mixes it with avant garde and experimental music along with a touch of black metal to create a style of his own, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark themes.
In my opinion Subterranean Disposition are a very great sounding avant garde mixture of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project.
