Thorybos - Monuments of Doom [World Terror Committee - 2012]

Thorybos are a four piece German band who summon up a grim, crusty & horror filled mixture of blacked metal & mid-pace/sludge bound death metal. “Monuments of Doom” is the bands first full length release after releasing five demos over the last five years or so.

The album offers up eight fairly short & unforgiving tracks, and these last between just under the two minute mark to just over the four minute mark. Each track here is mostly mid-paced to slowed, with the odd burst into blast beat territory. The guitars, bass & drums creating a grim ‘n’ prime evil mixture of blacked & death metal craft, with the  singer presenting a fairly clear & often echo effect laden mixture of: death grunt/ bleak ‘n’ dark punk billow/ speedy grim chatter.  The album moves along at a fairly consistent yet deeply grim pace, and while non of the tracks here are overtly memorable or stand out on there own the projects fairly original mix of blacked & death metal stylings makes this a rewarding ride.

“Monuments of Doom” is an effective ‘n’ grim  enough black/ death metal cross breed. I’ll certainly be interested to hear what the band do in future, through I think they’ll need to possible expand their sound a little as I can’t see this sharp yet relatively simple mix of blacked & death metal working as well for a second full length.
