I
am not used to hearing doom metal bands from United States
but Wraith of the Ropes is a different situation. Here
with the help from Totalrust music released their debut
album with the title "Ada" and they include
six tracks and almost a one hour of music. Definitely first
you will see the interesting cover and the naked female model
but believe me YOU will be the naked after you will finish
the listening of this album. The label describe their music
as horror metal and you can say that yes maybe it is horror
metal but mainly we have elements from funeral doom with dark
metal elements and atmospheric influences. Most of the compositions
are from nine minutes to twelve and the band gives more than
their 100% while they play these tracks. In additions their
compositions are well worked with interesting ideas and they
are really slow and mid tempo some times while the vocals
comes straight from hell with a lot of distortion. Generally
you will need to have a lot of patience to understand the
music from Wraith of the Ropes but in the end you will
rewarded by their very good piece of music and i am really
interested how they will progress after this step.
