katatonia - the longest year ep (2010)

i love this band
here's a stupid ep by them, one of the tracks is a fucking remix which makes me cringe at reading and unless you're a complete fanboy theres no reason to have this, unless you want the sold heart track. which obviously i needed so i rushed to get this because its all i got.

Persecution

The name of the Roman emperor Diocletian recalls persecutions, and actually the sounds by the band Diocletian are punishing like a persecution!
Diocletian are from New Zealand and play a take-no-prisoner-sort of doom-death-black metal.
The guys in this band are variably related to other interesting black to stoner-sludge bands from NZ: Creeping, Vassafor, The House of Capricorn.
This is the band's last release, the debut full-length album Doom Cult (2009), a wall of sound burstling with tons of dense, wicked riffs, a relentless drumming and barbaric grim vocal parts provided by various vocalists.
