“Melancholie der Engel” is like being thrown into an abyss of revelatory ascent, like being cruelly abandoned on a stage of immense universal solitude. Fuck yes, Shamael’s first album is like a long, feverish nightmare from which you cannot wake up. This fascinating one-man band invokes a devastating, and atmospheric, funeral doom on a par with the best names of the style.

An authentic funeral doom masterpiece. Be sepulted by this litany. 4th album, tremendous neural devastation.

Gatefold 2LP, colored vinyl.

One song... 45 minutes. Decadence, misanthropy, apathy, regret. Their fifth album. Funeral doom from Tijuana, Mexico.
