Lucifer's Fall

This is the first album for Australian doomsters Lucifer’s Fall. The band has a very bare-bones sound, with one guitar and no multitracking, so it is kind of flat, without the depth I like from Doom. If the riffs were awesome I would overlook this, but they are just kind of derivative and boring. The songs are mostly long, and not much happens to justify that. Singer and main instrumentalist Deceiver is not a very good vocalist either. He’s not awful, but he doesn’t really add anything to the music with his workmanlike muttering. Overall this album comes across as just kind of joyless and bland.
