Right, since we're at it, let's throw some more depressive slow music into the mix. This time, I picked something so thick, so sluggish and so intense that it almost resembles quicksand. Once the music has captured you, there is no way out. You can struggle but Dwaal keeps pulling you down into their doomed spiral. Post sludge doomers of all ages should start paying attention now, because this might be one of their favorites in 2017.

But first things first.  Dwaal is a quintet from Oslo, Norway. 'Darben' is their debut ep, a 12" containing two long and conscience pulverizing songs, lasting nineteen and twelve minutes respectively. In those thirty something minutes, Dwaal drags you along soothing post rock/metal passages as well as pounding sludge doom hammerings. Resistance is useless since the music is so immersive that you will happily surrender.

In all, this ep is a solid business card for these Norwegians and I truly hope that it will be picked up by bookers allover Europe. With a massive and intense sound like this, there is no doubt that Dwaal will deliver a bunch of eargasms and perhaps the occasional collapsed lung. My advice? Buy this thing, play it loud and the world being blown away by Dwaal. I need a cigarette now...
