Years ago, I discovered the immense 'Missing', a song from Belgian funeral doom act Until Death Overtakes Me. Back then, I didn't know anything about that genre. For me, at that moment, doom metal was the stuff the My Dying Bride, Anathema and Tiamat did. However, 'Missing' immediately became one of my favorite anthems and I started grabbing everything I could get from Until Death Overtakes Me. Then, the project seemingly became silent, until now apparently.

Suddenly, this album appeared in my inbox, something I could have never expected. Not that I minded, on the very contrary. I quickly downloaded it, fed it to my media machine and allowed myself to bask in the thick, torpid doom that this act produces so well. 'AnteMortem' brings four tracks, two of them being massive funeral doom anthems, lasting over twenty minutes while the other two take up about ten. 

The key ingredients are all here. Atmospheric keyboards, sluggish guitars and huge ambient passages. Fans of acts like Evoken, Shape Of Despair and Esoteric will easily embrace this album. Opener 'Before' is - in my opinion - even better than 'Missing'. In fact, the whole album shows an artist that managed to grow, improve and thrive in a genre with strict boundaries. Of course, this one comes highly recommended. 2017 is definitely going to be a Belgian year!!!
