I don't remember how I clicked onto this band, but they were the impetus for this column. I'm sure that the members of Crematory are super proud and stuff. So what we have here is gothic doom metal from Germany. I'm currently blasting the 1993 debut (Transmigration, pictured above) through my earbuds, and I have to say, I really dig it. It's not too dissimilar from what Paradise Lost were doing in the early 90's. Maybe the keyboards are a little more pronounced. And how about that album cover? Seemingly, Crematory lost interest in plodding death metal as they ripened. They would soon espouse electronic music, which, erm, no thanks? They did release an album earlier this year, but there are no reviews for it yet. If you decide to check it out, be sure to report back.
Dude, the riffs on "Hall of Torment" are astoundingly heavy. Yeah, I'd call the maiden voyage for this column a success. Crematory ruled...at one point anyway.
