Christ is the record
gloomy. Loss’ Despond is an aural
representation of their name. They truly
create an atmosphere that tosses any sliver of hope down a deep, dank well to
drown. Unlike other bands in their
genre, Loss’ power is not in the full-bore assault of earth-smashing heaviness,
but it lies with the mournful harmonies that take the listener to a dark, dark
place. Most funeral doom bands bore the
life out of people by using drawn out minor chords that plod along at the pace
of a dead snail just to prove how morose they are. Loss keep their bleak outlook simple, but
employ dynamics that keep the listener’s attention even when moving zero miles
per hour. I’m really looking forward to
whatever is next for this band
