" Doom:VS is the one-man project of Johan Ericson, one of the starting members of Draconian, playing the drums for them during the 1994-2002 era, while afterwards he switched to the guitars leaving the drumming to Jerry Torstensson. Having formed Doom:VS, he started moving towards his very own path, a path that could lead only to one dirrection, the dark side of doom metal, proving that he's really gifted and has a lot to offer to the scene. Something that proves me correct is the fact that he dealt with everything having to do with the debut album of this fabulous project, from the cover to the production and all the instrumentation "
" This multitalented Swede has conjured up something truly dark, dank and sobering. Aeternum Vale, which means “Farewell Forever”, is an album asking the question “what is the reason for all this?” in a depressing lovelorn way. Doom:vs has been done solely by Johan with even the cover and layout handled by the man himself. At times Aeternum Vale takes its toll on the listener and just when you think its all getting to much Johan breaks out with soul lifting guitar leads that make the hard journey though the bleak landscapes that Doom:vs create all worth it "
Aeternum Vale" is a quality release for the funeral-driven doom/death metal scene that all 90s doom metal adorers should purchase, simply because not only early Anathema/Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride or Shape Of Despair know how to play doom/death or funeral doom..............
Oblivion Upon Us!.............G....e......t......I...T.!
