While the name Eternal Black may conjure up notions of
the heaviest funeral doom, corpse paint, and trudging demonic doom that only
the die-hard doom fans can conquer, these doomsters worship heavily at the
altar of Scott 'Wino' Weinrich in all his Spirit Caravan, The Obsessed, and Saint Vitus
mastering glory. The Brooklyn, New York, three piece (consisting of Joe Wood on
drums, Hal Miller on bass, and Ken Wohlrob on guitar and vocals) are paving
their musical journey full of doom blues that is as enticing as it is menacing.
Their gloriously groovy/doomy/bluesy/fuzzy self-titled EP
has just been released on their own record label, Obsidian Sky Records, and it
will soon be garnering praise from all corners of the music world as the riffs
are thick, the vocals bluesy, and all the while the music resonates around the
base ground of doom, the murky kind that will knife you in the guts at night.
While we’re under no doubt that Eternal Black have the
potential to create an outstandingly heavy doom blues record in the future, the
fact is they’ve already created one with their first EP, and while it is a Wino
influenced sound, the band are proud to wear their influences on their sleeve
and show how they have come to be, and now it’s their sound that we get to
indulge ourselves in too!
