Italian doomsters The Foreshadowing get props from Katatonia’s Anders Nyström for being “one of the finest quality doom acts around these days.” High praise indeed.
It’s hard not to have a sweet spot for all of the killer riffs of the “Gothenburg sound.” Darkness by Oath even snags The Haunted’s Anders Bjorler for a solo.
On the same wavelength as fellow Canadians 3 Inches of Blood, bringing speedy, thrashy sounds with a good sense of humor and a love of all things ’80s.
With Katatonia embarking on a trip into prog-land, we need bands like 40 Watt Sun and Daylight Dies to satiate our need for melancholy, mid-paced metal.
