Divine Lust - Divine Lust

This is The Gay - 11%

DeadFetus, January 16th, 2004

What do you get when you combine bad vocals, weak guitars, ridiculous keyboarding, and shitty song writing? No, not Cradle of Filth, you jackass, but a good guess nonetheless. In this case you get gothic doom failures Divine Lust. Now I always thought that Doom metal was supposed to be oppressive, heavy, and melancholy. Divine Lust fails on all three fronts. Instead of bludgeoning oppressive riffs, Divine Lust offers lame guitars that are as heavy as a plastic bag - in other words, they are weak. Where depressing and angry vocals should be we have what comes off as a whiny loser lamenting the loss of his girlfriend. The only thing depressing about this record is how much time was wasted by the band recording it, and by me listening to it.

Ten tracks that have nothing to offer but the same four riffs and the same overbearing cornball keyboards is nothing to be proud of. Suggestion for the band: study some real fucking doom metal bands (My Dying Bride, Cathedral, Eyes of Ligeia) and stop the whiny boring bullshit.
