A competent funeral doom album with its moody basslines, crushing repetition, and vocals ranging from desperate harsh to desperate clean, Four Phantoms nevertheless never manages to feel as bleakingly captivating as predecessor Longing.

I have gone through many reviews of this and I can conclude there are no perfect words to describe this. My go at it: this is an intense experience, keeping the listener very attentive whilst variating from flying amongst clouds to nailing down to the ground with immense force.

A doom duo of only smothering bass and thundering drums, Seattle born Bell Witch's sophomore full length is as dense and foggy as the city they hail from. The four tracks on this record deal with one thing: the elements, or, more specifically, death at the hands of merciless Mother Nature. The tracks are split up into two parts: the "Suffocation" tracks and the "Judgement" tracks. It is a tale of two halves here, as the two "Suffocation" tracks, especially "Suffocation, A Drowning.." are monolithic, evocative dirges that encapsulate the atmosphere and feeling of what the wonderfully descriptive lyrics portray. However, the two "Judgement" tracks are relatively lackluster, and just sound like the standard fare. They aren't bad, but they don't really do anything. That said, two thirds of the album are comprised of the "Suffocation" tracks, so you're hearing great stuff more often than not.

this album is probably gonna get alot of shit thrown its way but who gives a fuck. If you love really heavy riffs and really eerie atmosphere with a funeral doom leaning than dont overlook this.

Absolutely fantastic album, funeral doom done to a beautiful standard. Hope somebody gives this a decent review before I force it upon myself to do instead.

the whole thing is a long, dreary, apocalyptic soundscape of doom.

Bell Witch has created another fantastic doom metal adventure. The bass (no guitars?!) is
extremely heavy and mournful and is definitely the main focus. The vocals are quite excellent as
well.
