MOMM (19)


A quick look at this quartet would have you think they are another stoner / sludge-core act that would be floating around metaldom trying to hitch a hit. I was of this impression of them when I first saw some promo pics; with the bell-bottoms & baroque tops, these people wouldn't be metal. And then you listen to their music & everything changed. Slaegt had been a better part of obscurity until, arguably, The Wheel debuted in 2018 with that heavy nod towards Dissection in their musical essence. Anyway, Goddess here takes a trip into the heavy realm with slower moments conjuring doom & that epic 11min closer that is Goddess, it's a wholesome trip, I would say. For want of a better reference, this is very close to what Nachtmystium did with Assassins. A worthy purchase.
