SMOULDER - Dream Quests Ends LP (Leather Brown Vinyl)

Another red-haired "devil" baby spawned forth this past, full mooned Friday the Thirteenth, alongside likes of Ambush, Dexter Ward and good ole Wolf, is Toronto's quaintly epic and ever-rocking, in a Tanith-mixed with-Castle, Christian Mistress-and-Wytch Hazel mien, Smoulder, with successive EP entitled Dream Quest Ends. While not quite as copiously laden or rich as actual 2019 debut full-length album Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring, this latent Canadian trad (with minute doom element) metal worthy assuages middle-of-the-road inclinations of an evilly obscene, and, say, dauntingly feral nature.
