Talbot - Eos

Here's another mighty slab of doom from Estonian 2-piece Talbot. This is their first full-length release, and it certainly shows they can keep up the doom for much longer than demonstrated on their previous Tundra EP (which I posted just over a year ago). I liked Tundra so much I bought the CD-R version off the band, which features remixes of 2 tracks not found on the download only version. EOS is even better than Tundra, plenty of monolithic heaviness and also some nice psychedelic interludes. Well worth a listen so go download it!

Talbot - Tundra EP

Here's some nice Estonian doom from Talbot, a two piece drone/sludge band. Apparently they've been going since 2003, though I first stumbled accross them the other day. Their Tundra EP is available for free download from their website. They have an interesting take on the doom genre, with a bass heavy sound that's vaguely reminiscent of industrial doom, but with a more organic beat provided by live drums instead of drum machines. The vocals are an interesting mix of more melodic stoner metal lines with some traditional doom screaming thrown in for good measure. The EP is also seeing a re-release on Consouling Sounds as a limited run of 100 CD-Rs, featuring two bonus remixes not featured on the downloadable version which can currently be listened to on their Myspace.
