Rote Mare was an Australian doom metal band from Adelaide that formed in 2005 and split in 2017.
history
The band was founded in 2005 as a solo project by Philip Howlett. By 2009, the year in which Rote Mare was expanded to include a band by further members, Howlett published a total of eight demos . 2010 followed with the first EP with Sorrows Path . The 2011 debut album Serpents of the Church was followed by the two albums The Invocation and The Kingdom in 2013 . In 2017 the band split up.
style
According to Brian Giffin in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal , the band plays traditional Doom Metal that has its roots in the 1970s. Andreas Stappert from Rock Hard wrote in his review of Serpents of the Church that the group plays unoriginal Doom Metal, which is "a roughly thwarted storm with wind speeds at a neat creeping pace". The music sounds as if the group was influenced by Black Sabbath's first four albums . This becomes clear not only lyrically and musically (in the latter case, Stappert particularly referred to War Pigs by Black Sabbath), but also through song titles such as Children of the Sabbath . Traces of the Reverend Bizarre , Saint Vitus and the early Electric Wizard are also recognizable. Markus Endres from Metal.de wrote in his review of the split release with Dire Fate that Rote Mare is "at home in traditional, melodic Doom Metal", although "the atmosphere is much more macabre" than with Dire Fate. The singing is demanding and has a theatrical , plaintive character. Occasionally a Gothic character becomes apparent and you sometimes use riffs in the style of Tony Iommi .
