GLOOMINOUS DOOM
THE FEATURE (DRP RECORDS)
The breakthrough sophmore CD from the Thrash/ Ska/ Death Metal/ Reggae maniacs, Gloominous Doom. "The Feature" is Reading, PA-based experimental metal quintet Gloominous Doom's second CD for DRP Records.
Clocking in at just over an hour, "The Feature" totals 15 songs, and comes jam-packed with tongue-in-cheek humor, razor-sharp riffs, thrashing mayhem, punk attitude, death metal ferocity, low-slung reggae grooves, and just a dash of Demo Derby PBR-guzzlin' backwoods flair.
Gloominous Doom's high-energy, genre-bending sonic assault and merciless work ethic have earned them scores of fans along the East Coast, as successful tours and a triumphant performance at 2009's CMJ Music Marathon in NYC made clear.
This, in addition to a well-received split 7" and ensuing tour with Relapse artists Rumpelstiltskin Grinder, has directed plenty of industry attention towards the GD camp.
The boys have been hard at work raisin' hell, keeping that buzz going with never-ending live dates and festival appearances.
It's more clear than ever: Gloominous Doom have only begun to grind. More cowbell!
