Our Take

Desolate Pathway's latest offering, "Of Gods And Heroes," is an epic journey through the realms of doom metal that will leave you feeling like you've just stepped into a mythical adventure. The band's blend of soaring vocals, bone-crushing riffs, and thunderous drums creates a sonic landscape that is both captivating and awe-inspiring.

From the haunting opening track, "Rise of the Olympian," to the epic closer, "A Hero's Welcome," Desolate Pathway takes listeners on a musical odyssey that is as grandiose as it is powerful. The album's production is top-notch, allowing each instrument to shine while still maintaining a cohesive sound throughout.

Lead vocalist Simon Stanton's voice is a force to be reckoned with, soaring to great heights one moment and growling with ferocity the next. Guitarist Vince Hempstead's riffs are as heavy as they come, laying the foundation for the band's larger-than-life sound.

While some may find the album's length daunting, with most tracks exceeding the ten-minute mark, true fans of the genre will appreciate the band's commitment to crafting a truly immersive listening experience. "Of Gods And Heroes" is a triumph of epic proportions, showcasing Desolate Pathway's ability to transport listeners to another world with their music. So grab your sword and shield, and prepare for a metal journey like no other.

About the artist

Desolate Pathway

Desolate Pathway are the black sheep of the doom metal family - outsiders in a genre that thrives on gloom and melancholy. Hailing from the foggy moors of Yorkshire, this trio has been carving their own path through the world of heavy music since their inception in 2014. Fronted by the enigmatic vocalist and guitarist Vince Hempstead, Desolate Pathway are known for their epic song structures, soaring vocals, and bone-crushing riffs. Their music is a sonic journey through the darkest recesses of the human soul, with nods to classic bands like Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus. What sets Desolate Pathway apart from their peers is their willingness to embrace the light amidst the darkness. Their music is not just about wallowing in despair, but finding beauty and hope in the midst of chaos. It's a refreshing take on a genre that can sometimes feel a bit one-note. Their latest album, "The Valley of Shadows," is a masterpiece of storytelling and songcraft. From the haunting opening track "Into the Realms of Poseidon" to the epic closer "The Waters of Acheron," Desolate Pathway take listeners on a journey through ancient myths and legends, exploring themes of betrayal, redemption, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. With their powerful vocals, intricate guitar work, and thunderous rhythm section, Desolate Pathway are a force to be reckoned with in the world of doom metal. Whether you're a fan of the genre or just looking for something a little different, Desolate Pathway are definitely worth a listen.
