Listening diary 21st February, 2021: Ancestors - Of Sound Mind (psychedelic stoner doom metal, 2009)

I really love the existence of Ancestors, even if I don't really feel their music half the time. There are so few bands in metal carrying on the spirit of psych rock, and Ancestors seem to almost solely carry the torch in the doom metal scene of the late 2000s. There are moments from this that straight-up sound like David Gilmour is playing, and some real beauty in the organ parts in particular. I've never really been sold on the band's stoner elements, and here is no exception though, and unlike on In Dreams and Time, I don't think the softer parts are enough to completely outweigh the boring doom sections. But still, it's the sort of record you can get immersed in and I know few other bands who do this mix of genres.

6.0 (1st listen)
