After releasing a well-received demo and a split, the US death/doom metal band Besotten are all set to unleash their debut full-length album which they have meticulously worked on for the past few years. They play death/doom metal that is beautifully balanced, with the proper elements of both the styles getting highlighted at the right moments. The music is immeasurably heavy yet remarkably nuanced, effortlessly carrying expressive ability along with all its ponderous weight. The five songs on this album are a mix of short ones as well as those exceeding 10 minutes, and are rather diverse with each song having its own identity while maintaining an overall cohesive sound. In comparison to the other bands out there, Besotten’s music is more structured and fleshed out, amplifying all the best elements of this style, and remaining delectably crushing and foul.
