Approaching Doom [CD]

Monsternaut - Approaching Doom [CD]

Approaching Doom is the third album by Monsternaut, a darker and heavier representation of the band's established devotion to groovy riffs and to the point compositions. The songs took shape over several years, during which the arrival of a new drummer opened the door to more adventurous rhythms and riff ideas, pushing the band into new territory while staying true to their roots. Sonically, the album leans toward the grit and weight of early '90s metal rather than polished modern production, giving it a raw and immediate edge. Its lyrics and atmosphere follow a naturally darker direction as well, adding an extra layer of tension beneath the grooves. Recorded entirely the old-fashioned way, straight to analog tape with no digital editing, it captures the band playing as they are, relying on performance, chemistry, and feel rather than correction. Also available on black vinyl (HPS 382LP), transparent yellow vinyl (HPS 382LTD-LP), and white/red/black splatter color vinyl (HPS 382ULTRA-LP). 01. Cold 02. Evicted 03. Approaching Doom 04.
