Since “The Trident” you can’t call Unearthly Trance a pure doom band anymore and honestly, I couldn’t be happier. Which of course was never possible before because doom and being happy don’t go well together. For their new album “Electrocution”, this NY –based trio decided to stray even further from the beaten path of doom (which obviously leads to the nearest graveyard) and came back with an album that should send the dudes in High On Fire back to the studio to write an even better album.
Don’t worry, it’s still heavy as fuck but without the boundaries of doom restricting them, Unearthly Trance has written their best album so far. Entire songs are still built around one majestic riff by Ryan Lipynsky that have been known to reduce entire buildings to piles of rubble but there’s more going on and it makes things only more exciting than anything they’ve done before.
Score: 8 out of 10
