Traditional Doom Metal from Germany

"Chapter One" is the debut album by the southwestern German doomsters SHAYTAN, though technically it's not their first release because the band was previously known as DEMON INCARNATE and have three full-lengths and one EP to their credit. However, with a recent line-up change, most notably the addition of the talented vocalist Julian who replaced their former female singer, they decided to make a fresh start with a new name. And one can certainly hear that the guys are not newbies. They deliver raw, no-bullshit traditional doom metal, dwelling mostly in mid tempos with occasional slowdowns and accelerations. With the appropriate dirt under their fingernails, they have created a sound foundation that draws from the primordial sludge of the genre pioneers like BLACK SABBATH and PENTAGRAM, but mostly '80s and '90s doom of legendary acts like TROUBLE, CANDLEMASS, SOLITUDE AETURNUS and THE OBSESSED, while also displaying strong similarities to newer purveyors of the genre, particularly NOMAD SON, KRUX, GRIEF COLLECTOR and FAMYNE. Their riffs are heavy and the songs are replete with captivating choruses, often supplemented with oriental influences. There is not a single dull moment on this album, and at a mere 34 minutes, it doesn't overstay its welcome. The warm production rounds it up perfectly, resulting in a most pleasant listening experience.
