Ggu:ll are a band from the Netherlands that plays a mixture of black, sludge doom metal, noise and atmospheric drone and this is a review of their 2022 album "Ex Est" which will be released in October by Consouling Sounds.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of sludge and doom metal. Synths can also be heard at times along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Vocals are mostly grim yet high pitched sounding black metal screams while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing. When guitar leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some atmospheric sounding drones, psychedelic sounds and noises also being used at times as well as some songs also adding in a small amount of growls and most of the album also sticks to a slower direction.
Ggu:ll plays a musical style that takes black, sludge, doom metal, drone and noise and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the meaning of existence.
In my opinion Ggu:ll are a very great sounding mixture of black, sludge, doom metal, noise and drone and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Falter" and "Hoisting Ruined Sails". 8 out of 10.
