Pombagira/Maleficia Lambiah/Black Axis Records/2013 CD Review


  Pombagaria  are  a  band  from  England  that  plays  a  very  psychedelic  form  of  experimental  sludge/doom  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Maleficia  Lambiah"  which  will  be  released  by  Black  Axis  Records.

  Drums  are  all  slow  playing  with  no  fast  drumming or  blast  beats,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound with  heavy  riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording  with  some  heavy  and  doomy  riffing,  as  for  the  sound  effects  they  bring  in  elements  of  experimental,  drone  and  psychedelia  to  the  music.

  Rhythm  guitars  are  all  slow  riffs  that  combine  experimental,  psychedelic,  doom  and  sludge  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own  along  with  a  great  amount  of  heavy  distortion  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording,  as  for  the  acoustic  guitars  when  they  are  utilized  they  use  finger  picking  to  bring  a  70's  rock  sound  to the  music.

  Vocals  are  all  clean  singing  stoner/doom  metal  vocals,  while  the  lyrics  cover  Voodoo,  Witchcraft  and  Occultism,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful  and  heavy  sound  to  the  music where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording  in  addition  the songs  are  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  In my opinion Pombagaria  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  experimental, psychedelic,  stoner,  sludge  and  doom  metal  and  if  you  are  a  fan of  this  musical  style,  you  should  check  out  this  band. RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Grave  Cardinal".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
