Limited green colored vinyl LP pressing. Deathbell is a 5-piece band from Toulouse, France, that create eerie and heavy fuzz- laden Doom. Having released their debut album With the Beyond in 2018 that garnered underground attention, Deathbell have been lying in wait, taking their time to craft and hone their new juggernaut A Nocturnal Crossing. Incanting her melancholic and haunting vocals, Lauren Gaynor calls through cavernous walls of funeral organ and distorted slabs of riff-witchery to shepherd A Nocturnal Crossing into a hypnotic otherworld. With morbid clanging trips of psychedelic rhythms and shadowy atmospheres, Deathbell's brand of mystical Doom is both transcendent and somber. Written and recorded between 2018 and 2021 in the French Pyrenees, A Nocturnal Crossing's lyrics reflect on the metaphysical forces of life and spiritual introspection. Songs like "Silent She Comes" and "The Ladder" are anthemic, and wistful, beautiful gravestones of heavy incantation that deliver the listener into a blissful sonic salvation, with the guitar duo of Bolzan and Commelongue riffing as though oblivion depended on it. A band to watch out for, surely on the tongues and minds of those who seek out Doom Rock's ever evolving devilish secrets, on A Nocturnal Crossing, Deathbell have concocted a very strong brew.
