ALMS– Act One
Release date: 2018Oct26
Label: Shadow Kingdom
Rating: 5/5
ALMS hail from Baltimore, the unofficial capital of doom metal with their debut.
Dead Water plods mercilessly through hazy riffs, reminiscent of Saint Vitus. The Toll expands, foreboding bass to rapid guitar. For Shame is the epic ye seek, smokey vocals set to a thump. The Offering delivers sinister thunder in an ’80s mold. Deuces Low rumbles and tumbles, inspiring dudes to mimic with the air. Hollowed completes the assault, one final charge for the senses. Maryland does it again. Rejoice.
