Semlah is a power doom band from Sweden.The released their first release \u201cSemlah\u201d on 27-03-2009 via Cyclone Records.
\n
\nThe Swedes conming from Stockholm got together in 2001. After releasing a demo in this year and a mcd in 2004 it took them 5 years to come up with this debut release. Powerdoom is an interesting combination of metal. Genre\u2019s who\u2019s stereotypes are far away from each other brought together go even horribly well together or are doomed to fail.
\nIt takes a while to get into the music that Semlah presents. Soon you start thinking which aspect of this band you like more, making the music compete with it selves. This might not always be the most easiest path to choose as a band as you have enough concurrency of the complete music scene anyway. For Semlah counts that it is definitely the power aspect that wins! Vocals tend to turn into horrible screaming as soon as they tend to step of the traditional power metal way of singing. Not pleasant at all.
\nThe bass is thick this with the calm, not too dominant drums make the doom elements justified. The riffs are teasing a bit, bringing you in the expectation of getting a typical doom vocals as in most of the songs it takes a while before the vocals come in. whether this surprise is a pleasant one depends if you are into power metal. Those who are not charmed by this genre will surely feel betrayed. The typical powermetal fan will be surprised by the instrumental part which had the keyrole in this album anyway.<\/p>\n

This music asks for openminded music lovers. Interesting to see how Semlah mixes up the genres and creates some thing quite unique out of it.<\/p>\n
