Vancouver doom metal band Seer are gearing up to release new music in the form of Vol. 6, but you can jam "Seven Stars, Seven Stones" ahead of the February 8 release here.
The new track plods along with low and slow chugs before a black metal riff replaces the sullen slog with a swifter sorrow. The song goes back and forth, later settling into slightly faster territory, though it's never as bouncy as the quartet's sludgiest material.
Through it all, a sombre mood is inescapable — this is, after all, gloomy doom metal — so that even when Bronson Lee Norton's croon is approaching triumphant there's still a warbling torment in the timbre. There are also some background screeches akin to fellow BC metallers 3 Inches of Blood and, of course, some growls. Eerie sounds see the track out.
Listen to the seven-minute song in the player below and keep an eye out for the release via Toronto's Artoffact Records. The CD version will include Vol. 5 as bonus tracks.
