User Album Review
Novembers Doom‘s new opus de emotionale, Hamartia. The word “Hamartia” is defined as a fatal flaw in a hero or heroine which will ultimately lead to their tragic downfall. What better subject matter for another oversized dose of doom/death from Chicago’s finest? With the same lineup returning from 2014s Bled White, Hamartia is familiar in its overall approach, but marks a departure for the band. Where past albums focused more on the death metal end of the pool with a few morose pieces of somber depression appearing, this is the inverse – much more doom-based with a greater dependence on clean vocals than ever before. It’s still the band you know, but a gentler, more introspective version.
Hamartia is yet another high-quality album from a very unique and consistent group. I might quibble over the relative death and doom ratio, but the material is still gripping and as dark as a murderer’s soul. Whatever Novembers Doom‘s personal hamartia may be, it’s yet to be discovered and exploited, and I hope it remains ever thus. Novembers for all.
