More about 'Houses Of The Unholy'

Church of Misery returns with their bone-crushing third full-length "Houses of the Unholy", a harrowing journey through the darkest corners of human depravity. This Japanese doom metal outfit has carved out a uniquely disturbing niche by crafting heavy, sludgy anthems inspired by real-life serial killers and mass murderers. The album's seven tracks each tell the story of a different criminal, from the ritualistic murders of Adolfo Constanzo in "El Padrino" to the spree killing rampage chronicled in "Badlands". The band's signature blend of crushing riffs, thunderous bass lines, and tortured vocals creates an atmosphere that's both hypnotic and deeply unsettling.

What sets this release apart is how Church of Misery manages to balance their morbid fascination with true crime against genuinely compelling songwriting. The nearly nine-minute opener "El Padrino" showcases their ability to build tension through repetitive, droning passages that mirror the obsessive nature of their subjects. Meanwhile, tracks like "Shotgun Boogie" deliver more straightforward doom metal punishment with a groove that's impossible to ignore. The production captures every nuance of their down-tuned assault, making this essential listening for anyone drawn to the heavier side of metal.

For fans of:
Sleep, Electric Wizard, Monolord, and Windhand
