Spain has just coughed up this formidable death \/ doom duo who go by the names E (vocals) and P (all instruments). Profound<\/em> is Rotten Cavern\u2019s debut offering and features a trio of tracks sandwiched between an intro (\u2018Gates\u2019) and an outro (\u2018Denouement\u2019). \u2018Grim Ritual\u2019, \u2018Black Procession\u2019 and \u2018Corpse\u2019 traipse with such dread; oozing like dark rivers of gunk through slime coated subterranean tunnels.<\/p>\n

The way this release echoes is quite unnerving as Rotten Cavern slither slowly to great chiming vibrations of doom. It\u2019s primitive and slow motion and shifts with such a heavyweight design draped in a foul air of morbidity. All three tracks follow similar paths as aching, yawning black chasms thick with rancid fibres and pea-soup fog aesthetics.<\/p>\n

Even with such gloom-caked meandering there is nothing sluggish about the release and there is real tension built with those hefty, crawling riffs. I often have little patience for slow, painful death \/ doom, but this demo is one of those exceptions and I suggest you leap into its dragging silt.<\/p>\n

For those of you interested, the Profound<\/em> demo is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
