Our Take

SOLSTICE's Demo 1991 is like stumbling upon a hidden gem in your grandparent's attic - dusty, mysterious and full of surprises. This re-issue of the UK doom metal band's early work is a trip down memory lane for fans and a fascinating glimpse into the band's roots for newcomers.

From the haunting melodies of opener "Transmogrification" to the bone-crushing riffs of "The Sentencing," the album's raw energy and DIY production give it a vintage charm that is hard to resist. The band's blend of doom and progressive metal showcases their unique vision and talent, setting them apart from their peers in the scene.

Vocalist Simon Matravers' haunting vocals soar over the thunderous drums and sludgy guitars, creating a sense of looming dread and impending doom that is as captivating as it is chilling. Tracks like "The Man Who Died Two Times" and "Neither Time Nor Tide" showcase the band's ability to weave intricate storytelling with crushing riffs and ethereal solos.

While the re-issue may not have the polished production of modern metal albums, it adds to the album's charm and authenticity. SOLSTICE's Demo 1991 is a must-listen for any doom metal fan looking to delve deeper into the genre's history and discover a band that deserves more recognition.
