Italian atmospheric doom and black metal from (EchO)



(EchO) (Italy) - 'Head First into Shadows' 

Genre - Atmospheric Doom/Black/Death Metal
Release Date - May 23rd, 2016
Record Label - BadMoodMan Productions (Solitude Productions subsidiary)

Similar to the outstanding The Morningside release on BadMoodMan Music (subsidiary of Solitude Productions), (EchO) from Italy evoke deep emotions yet again with their stylistic take on death, doom and black metal. Merging all these styles and lacing it with graceful melodies, (EchO) are creating something special. 

Imagine a mix of Kauan, Paradise Lost and indeed, The Morningside, their latest full length is a beautiful exploration of music that can reach out and touch your soul. 

Featuring guest appearances of members of Ahab and Callisto, the album is unpredictable from start to finish but as phases in life, they're continuous and segue into one enriching experience - be it depressing or uplifting. 

'Head First Into Shadows' is an album worthy of introspection, as there are so many facets to each song, with so many influences and elements incorporated to form a seamless song, which on paper is near impossible. And yet (EchO) create something marvellous, something that's rich with ideas but not confused with them all. 

Experience this gem of a band and how effortlessly they've created something that defies simple categorization.
