Info:
The fact that Count Raven plays solid traditional prototypical doom is just as true as the notion of the wheels of doom never seizing to grind. Black Sabbath left a lasting impression on many a band and Count Raven did not escape their earthly seal. Until the title track made its appearance almost midway through Mammons War, the formula in just about every song was to introduce a simple effective rocking riff early and build the whole song around it. Whether this riff is more middle-Eastern sounding (Nashira) or is more cathedral resonating with all of the bells and weeps (Scream), the elastic stretchy guitars carry the day. The chorus, and sometimes the lead, brings more melody into the picture as “welcome to the other side” line does in The Entity.
