The limbonic hymnal death metal masters known as Howls Of Ebb have really taken the genre by the throat these last three years, releasing a fantastic project each year and improving each time. Vigils Of The 3rd Eye did more than just establish Howls Of Ebb's strange take on death metal; it reminded those who love the genre that originality and progression were still completely alive in it, and that bands like these would see to it that that would never change. It's a weird, indescribable mix of tech-death, death-doom, blackened death, and broad dashes of avant-garde meticulously wound in to the sound. It takes what would normally be as a detriment to the genre (thin-sounding guitars, dry drums, a noted lack of "heavy"-sounding moments) and flips them on their head, turning them into strengths within a wild and incensed atmosphere. It's a shame they're only slated to release one more album, but it makes sense; these guys are a bit too "out there" to stay around for long.
