Vinum Sabbatum
(yellow) Bacchanale Premiere
Limited to 350 copies on yellow vinyl. Vinum Sabbatum's first full length displays a band grown into a tight unit. The material is somewhat removed from the Doom Metal approach of 'Songs From The Convent' and showcases more of their love for prog and Hard Rock rooted in the '70s, such as Uriah Heep, Deep Purple or Atomic Rooster, along with Blues-based Heavy Rock and Iron Claw. So there is still heaviness here, they merely traded the obvious Doom Metal leanings for an exciting mix of bluesy doom and gloom, combined with psychedelic and rocking grooves with enchantingly catchy melodies, and crowned by the remarkable voice of Janne Salo and the Hammond Organ and keyboard of Tomi Korpela.
