There's death/doom that is dark and cavernous like Incantation and then there's death/doom that is melancholic and wistful like early Anathema; Italy's Assumption plies the line between both of these sounds. The music is chasmal, but never enough to feel impenetrable and though there are smatterings of guitar harmonies, they don't commit fully to the romanticized death/doom of the Peaceville Three. Assumption exists somewhere in between, and are the better for it, bridging together two different iterations of the genre with the best elements of both.
