A Dead Poem - Abstract Existence

Doom/Black Metal from Nova Friburgo, Brazil

Dead Poem was formed in Brazil in 2023 by Marlon Combat and Carlos Misnathropic with the aim of rescuing the essence and atmosphere of Doom/Black Metal practiced by Katatonia, October Tide, Paradise Lost and Rotting Christ in the early 90s... Aptly titled Abstract Existence, A DEAD POEM's debut album is a tour de force of vintage vibes - the velvety, incense-choked essence of 1993, when gothic doom, black metal, and melodeath briefly comingled and crossed DNA. One could point to such classics as Paradise Lost's Gothic, Katatonia's Dance of December Souls, or indeed Rotting Christ's later dark-horse A Dead Poem as the firm aesthetic foundation on which the duo build their darkly emotive anthems, but A DEAD POEM the band keenly understand subtlety and restraint, allowing each of these seven hypnotic songs to slowly work their spell and drown the listener in a sorrow so deep, you can practically feel the era-authentic black turtleneck closing around you.
