Widely regarded as legends in the style, Dutch death/doom metal band Officium Triste have mastered the art of playing emotive yet elegant music and have honed their sound even more on their seventh full length album. 'Hortus Venenum' is a special album as it celebrates the band's 30th year anniversary and it's remarkable that even after so many years they have continued to evolve and improve upon their already established sound. The songwriting is surprisingly effective with its disarming simplicity and clean, exquisite tunes soaked in heartfelt emotion, delivered with the kind of sincerity which only comes from years of experience, both as musicians and worldly men. The relatively shorter songs have a sense of immediacy that the previous albums didn't have but their emotional depth is just as strong if not better than before. There are tasteful embellishments all over the album without affecting the sense of continuity and cohesiveness; there's diversity without disrupting the overall mood and the music's innate evocative power. With intuitively arranged songs, it's hardly perceptible that 'Hortus Venenum' is the band's shortest full length album and yet it's among their most potent ones - the beauty and appeal of the music on this one is nigh unparalleled. Suffice to say, it's another masterpiece from this band that only seems to get better with age.
For fans of - Saturnus, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Draconian, Swallow The Sun, November’s Doom

Finnish doom metal band Arche have come up with a virtually flawless album of sprawling, emotive and atmospheric doom metal. This album is easily one of the best ones in the style in recent times! Officium Triste
UK band WarCrab have masterfully blended elements of sludge/doom and death metal and have written powerful, stirring songs with excellent variations. This is top notch stuff. Officium Triste
This is some brilliant death/doom with skull-crushing parts as well as an eerie ritualistic atmosphere. They've nailed the sound to perfection here and the music that they've created is flawless. Officium Triste
supported by 350 fans who also own “Hortus Venenum”
Just WOOOAAAW !
Here you can hear the european Death Metal influences of the '90s..
from the Swedish chainsaw of Dismember to the British hammer of Bolt Thrower.. with a modern twist & some deep & atmospheric parts.
What a masterful album !
I can't stop listening to it !!
I'm totally delighted by this amazing release ! spectral_grøøve_HM2
