It's just a fact that Chile is one of the most relevant countries when it comes to the doom metal scene these days. From pioneers like Poema Arcanus, Mar de Grises and Uaral to more recent acts like Procession, Mournument, Mourning Sun or Wooden Veins, there's something uncanny and unique about the way in which Chilean artists use melancholy as a vehicle for their gloomy music.
Immersed is yet another promising project from those Pacific shores, led by multiinstrumentalist Cristian Durán, blending the sound of the genre's classics like Katatonia, Swallow the Sun or Ghost Brigade with proggier outlines à la Edge of Sanity, Novembre, old Opeth or even their fellow countrymen Mar de Grises. Yes, you'll hear those harmonized gloomy melodies you can find on most doom/death records, but also plenty of skillful solos and heavier parts, rounded up by the splendid production of Carlos Fuentes (Inanna, Sol Sistere) at the infamous Sonido Origen in Santiago de Chile.
Their debut 'Descending' is scheduled to be released next December 2nd via Ardua Music and will appeal to those of you who want something special, not just another run-of-the-mill doom metal band, yet keeping that unique Chilean melancholy.
LYRICS
That a human being
Can come to feel.
Born from the deepest love
I have always thought
It is just chemistry
It is much more than simple connectivity
Your look I still remember in my heart
Your hugs I cry when I remember you
An act, destroy, Everything about
This became a bad place for both
You said
I am a good man
That is the saddest thing I could feel
I knew
That some moment
I hurt you lot
And still hurt
Your look I still remember, I will never forget her
Your hugs I cry when I think about what happened
An act, destroy, anything reminds me of you
This became a bad place for both
I hope to embrace that union
I hope you know that pain
At least one fiber of you, I lost self
Feel the truth and my look
At least one fiber of you, I lost self
Feel the truth and my look
