Description
During the band’s discourse since the release of Reflections, GODTHRYMM have been recognized as the new emerging band from the UK to bring back the glorious aura of early-mid ‘90s UK doom metal, most notably formulated by the Peaceville Three (My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Anathema).
As expected, considering GODTHRYMM was formed and is helmed by UK doom metal veteran Hamish Glencross (ex-My Dying Bride/Vallenfyre/Solstice) and features doom metal drummer extraordinaire Shaun Taylor-Steels (ex-My Dying Bride/Anathema/Solstice). So in this sense, the classic UK doom metal DNA has already been implemented within the sonic fabric of GODTHRYMM.
Projections sees GODTHRYMM continue to develop and broaden their sound even further, and building upon the cornerstones of Distortions. Now with an expanded lineup which includes keyboardist co-vocalist Catherine Glencross, bassist Bob Crolla and new second guitarist Kris McLaughin, Projections is GODTHRYMM’s most layered, varied and complex release yet, all while still upholding the colossal emotionally charged heavy doom backbone that has defined the core of the band’s sound.
Projections presents and broadens new sonic horizons brought into the GODTHRYMM sound. Opening the album in traditional doom fare, it is the second half of opening track “Trenches Deep” which sees the band speed up their sound to a more pummeling attack and topping it by including guest vocals from original English Dogs vocalist Adie Bailey and guest vocals from Xentrix vocalist Jay Walsh. The following track “Truth In My Own” can be seen as one of GODTHRYMM’s heaviest and pounding tracks while the album’s diversity shines even more through the atmospheric progressive metal tappings of “Jewels” and the heavy ethereal closer “Hope is Eternal”, these latter two tracks solely helmed by Catherine Glencross.
The album’s two centerpiece tracks “The Sun Never Fell” and “Endure My Skin” are the full-blown epic UK doom monuments serving as two of the mightiest and towering GODTHRYMM tracks ever penned. “Endure My Skin” would also see the return of now-ex My Dying Bride vocalist Aaron
Stainthorpe, reuniting once again with his former MDB bandmates Glencross and Steels to do guest vocals on the track, this time the iconic vocalist taking more the center stage for the bulk of the track.
