Review from Satan's Music Box Webzine

Posted by Nick Skog on Monday, May 26, 2014, In : Album Reviews 
From: Satan's Music Box
Published: May 20, 2014

When an album contains an array of different elements, it’s hard to know what to make it as a whole. For listeners that like the less-is-more approach, too many unusual elements might spoil the music. But it’s important that you experience this excellent death/doom album as a whole before making a judgement.

Subterranean Disposition’s self titled is, in my opinion, essentially a progressive death/doom release. It contains plenty ...

Australian born Terry Vainoras has been contributing to the metal music industry since sometime around 1997 and has never looked back. He's been involved in quite a few bands that have spanned a large range of metal genres, from metalcore to gothic metal to grindcore to doom and death metal. It's obvious that he's proficient in the huge spectrum that the metal world has to offer and now he has branched out on his own with his s...

Five tracks spanning just under fifty-five minutes in length, this self-titled debut shows incredible amounts of doomy heaviness with more than a fair dosage of death metal riffery. The songs, ...

I have recently noticed a tendency that the more one listens to some albums, the more positive sides one finds and the release becomes more and more appealing. Maybe this conclusion is logical, though the constant flow of new records is endless and sometimes hinders one from distinguishing good things from bad. In the case of Australian project Subterranean Disposition, everything went to the better side.

Subterranean Disposition's debut album has everything required of a funeral-meets-melodic doom metal album. There are monstrous crushing riffs, eerily clean moments, and a layer of darkness spread over the top. Vainoras is as talented at deep growls as he is at melodic cleans and generates true vocal diversity by throwing in harsher shouts and what is almost spoken word as well, plus an assortment of other stylistic influences. Unlike so many othe...

Subterranean Disposition is an incredibly interesting entity; although it is a one man band, the vast array of influences lend one to think that there are many more minds at play here. Terry Vainoras, the man behind the music, has had over fifteen years of experience playing with bands that range in genres from grindcore to metallic hardcore, to death metal and the doom genre. Now, that kind of experience would lead many (and right...

Doom has ever been one of the more conservative genres of metal – by which I mean its evolution progresses at about the same pace as the average doom riff. With links to the progenitors of the entire music form, Black Sabbath, it is inextricably linked to the past and I always think that has the effect of bringing a certain dogmatic loyalty among doom lovers that borders on being downright stubborn.
