85. Shaam Larein - 'Sculpture

Gothic Doom from Sweden with obvious middle eastern influences. Shaam herself provides the dark sultry tones andthe whole thing is atmospheric and rather mystical. A darker, more primal P.J. Harvey comes to mind in places, but in others it feels rather peerless. The tracks creep, this is slow forbearing album that creates twirling pillars of eery sound that envelope the listener. Bewitching and rather intoxicating
