Spectrum Mortis - Bit Meseri - The Incantation (2022)

SPECTRUM MORTIS is a death/doom metal band from Spain who formed in 2015. “Bit Meseri – The Incantation,” is their full length debut but they also have two EP’s and a split under their blasphemous belt as well. The appeal of “Bit Meseri,” relies in the insane guitar tone—raw yet refined enough to make a lasting impact. On top of that, the riffs are unadulterated hell on earth with such a fantastic sound to them. The band, while definitely doom, isn’t afraid to throw in faster parts in between the rumbling groove of the slower aspects—definitely gives the album an old school, occult feel to it. The vocals are well done, going on along just fine for this style. They are caught somewhere between a blackened scream and a death metal mid range high. The vocals add another layer to an already deeply underground sound but don’t overdo it and take all the attention.
“Bit Meseri – The Incantation” is a solid slab of death doom that hits all the sweet spots of the genre.
