Memory's Garden/Windows To The Soul/1997 Demo Review


  Memory's Garden  where  a  band  from  Wisconsin  that  played  a  mixture  of  doom  and  death  metal  with  psychedelic  elements  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  1997  demo  "Windows  To  The  Soul".

  Drums  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  playing  with  not  much  in  the  way  of  fast  playing  or  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming out  of  the  guitars.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow  to  mid  paced  heavy  and  dark  sounding  riffs  that  combine  doom  and  death  metal  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  while  also  mixing  in  some  70's  rock  influences and  melody  into  the  riffing,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  70's  sounding  hard  rock/metal  guitar  solos  and  leads,  as  for  the  acoustic  when  they  are  utilized  use  full  chords  and  finger  picking  to  add  some  psychedelic  elements  to  the  demo.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls  to  high  pitched  screams  as  well  as  some  spoken  word  and  horror  film  samples  as  well  as  some  clean  singing  doom  metal  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  psychedelic  themes,  as  for t he  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  dark  and  heavy  sound  for  being  a  self  released  recording  along  with  a  couple  of  songs  being  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In  my  opinion  Memory's  Garden  where  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  psychedelic,  death  and  doom  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of t his  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Planet  Delirium"  and  "Crypt  Of  Morning".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
