A few months ago I reviewed the previous work from Shroud of Bereavement and I was really excited from their very good result. Now this band from the United States sent me their newest work, which is actually a split CD with WitherSoul.

In this release Shroud of Bereavement included two tracks and offer us twenty five minutes of pure atmospheric doom metal. First of all, we have three singers, two women and one man and at least in the vocal section we have a great result which will remind you a lot of a theatrical performance.

It is needless to say that the two compositions are more than well developed full of interesting ideas and changes. For example in the opening track in the first few minutes we have only the female singers and only melodies but in the middle of this song we have a very interesting change.

As far as Withersoul, again this band has dual brutal male and female vocals. They are a little bit more up tempo than Shroud of Bereavement but they still stay at the doom metal side. Nothing special but at least you can hear their stuff easily.
