Johan Ericson is a multitalented musician and producer
with a number of projects of his own. The most
distinguished of these is DRACONIAN; a gothic/doom act
which Johan established in 1994. Johan started out as a
drummer but soon expanded his field of capacity. From the
profound elevation of this distinct mind calls also the
spirit of DOOM:VS; a project born from the idea of
constructing something utterly dark in the unique field
of doom metal, closer to bands such as SHAPE OF DESPAIR
and MOURNING BELOVETH. Although his worship of bands like
PENTAGRAM (U.S.) and TROUBLE didn't reflect on his plans
this time.
DEAD WORDS SPEAK
Viewing the label behind this album together with their
name your mind goes instantly to what style is hidden
behind this well-shaped cover. Doomy, slow and depressive
Metal, fitting perfect to all the tortured souls of this
planet. It's one man's project with Johan Ericson playing
anything and except this having diligence of the artwork
together with the producing. A recording that was done in
the DRACONIAN studios 'cause he is also the guitarist of
these Swedish warriors. Of course when you hear this name
you are thinking of tragic combinations of vocals a la a
beast that is haunting a virgin in the forest with
purpose its sexual pleasure, musical anomalies like
unbelievable jokes (see THEATRE OF TRAGEDY and the rest).
OK, DRACONIAN are not so horrible, at least they have a
style and surely DOOM:VS are much better than the
previous, by playing a more serious music.
Johan started this project around 2004, having in mind
the creation of as possible dark and pessimistic thing it
can be. December of the same year saw the first songs, a
demo containing four of them named "Empire Of The
Fallen"; inside it we find vocals by Daniel Arvidsson
from DRACONIAN. This demo unlocked the gates for a record
company contract and in July of 2006 the debut was out,
under the pessimistic title "Aeternum Vale", including
three of the previous demo songs. Not such a good record,
in many moments looks uninspiring unorthodox placed
melodic yet 'commercial' passages but in the end you can
say it's not a miss made.
In the beginning of 2008, Johan started creating the
second one and with the first listening I believe that it
is not only better than the previous but also more
convincing for its purposes. The recipe is quite simple
but actively working. What I mean is that we have a
structure of three cool riffs that will reach a refrain
of clean vocals enriched with melodies and then
repeating. This is working well enough for the three
first tracks, which are combining feelings of despair,
mourning, darkness and an absentia of hope. It seems like
a severe criticism of personality, a zero tolerance for
the human form and life upon this planet. The resolution
is not so nihilistic or as intense as the words I used
but the whole project is on a good road avoiding
risibility.
"Upon The Cataract" will continue in the same previous
patterns, although here the 'refrain' of clean vocals is
not so well written. The influences are mostly coming
from MOURNING BELOVETH, SATURNUS, KATATONIA and the
titans MY DYING BRIDE. The last band can easily be
'distinguished' inside "Leaden Winged Burden", looking
more than a tribute but being good. Everything will be
'doomed' when the listener step forward the last one
"Threnody". Here you will be tested for your patience and
for your capability in staying awake while you'll hear
it. Completely boring, looks like a filler, around the
sixth minute and after you are praying for this suffer to
end, mad at this 'wanna be' bad psychic disposal of the
artist behind waiting maybe he will commit suicide and
this torment will disappear. Musical tantalization is
common when you are listening cliche things inside the
Doom genre. Although it seems easy to be played, Doom
like Black Metal or Noise demands full devotion and when
this is missing it's turning to shit.
Being not something special, this album can keep company
to some of you if you hear it in deep blue moments. More
personality is needed, the avoiding of commercial things
inside, and - who knows? - maybe this project will offer
us something real good in the future.
