This is what I’ve been searching for for a long time - minimalist drone that is based around the tones of fuzz-sludge and the intensity of death-doom. It helps get me to sleep.. I need to lock in on that crushingly heavy sound, without the jagged edges.
Darknight
Hellish Form have created two stunning tracks of droning doominess that makes it so vital and relevant. Great atmospheric parts torn right out of a John Carpenter horror manual, repeated listening is advised cos you don't want to miss the musical masterpiece.
Favorite track: House With A Thousand Doors.

Visions of an endless tunnel
Carved through sleep
A voice echos in whispers, from beneath
A mouth hungry to see
One shadow too many
this world’s not mine
Grip on my sternum
Fingers behind my teeth
To speak is creation
Language becomes the living
Words gives birth
To a loss of control
Silence will spread
We drown in quiet
The shadow is born
From the corpses of quiet
It reaches through death
Into your skull
And pulls you through
The violence within me
Escapes like smoke
Blood like cancer
Fills my throat
The violence within me
congeals into shadow
And leaves me behind in death
I descend
I believe in demons
I believe in nothing
I believe in shadows
I believe in hell
I believe in gods
I believe in nothing
I believe in the past
I believe in hell
The shadow approaches
As I walk deeper
It promises secrets
Of a world unseen
There is an old room
Where the light of the past
Comes through
I stand at the threshold
A figure sits there
In the room
It cannot be seen
It cannot be seen by us
I enter at night
Through a door in the middle
Of the house
There’s no light
An impossible view
Greets my eyes
I watch myself
Through a curtain of flies
Pull back my skin
Dissect my lies
Turn away from these visions
Of a life not mine
I’m trapped in this place
There’s no way out
I hear spirits at the doors
They pretend to know me
The rooms all look the same
But I change with each one
I’m altered in space
I’m altered in time
Caged
By sin
This prison is endless
This house within
Pull back my future
Dissect my promises
Give in to these visions
Of a life now mine
Spoiled by fate
There’s no way out
There’s no way in
Haunted by the living
There’s no way out
There’s no way in
Release me from hell
Release me from life (death)
Release my will
Released from hope
I wake again
The house is gone
I am lost
Fall
Victim
Tainted
By this palace of souls
Displaced
From everything
Displaced
from the self

released May 22, 2020
Written and Recorded by Hellish Form in quarantine in May 2020
One of the best death inflected doom metal releases of the year, hands down. The atmosphere that Occlith sets is masterfully executed to fully envelope the listener under their crushing, powerful sound. If you're a fan of the subgenre, this is an essential LP. Camel
