The Liquescent Horror is a funeral doom band founded in 2004 .

history

Richard Medina and Justin Burning began in Peoria , Arizona as Cease to Breathe, a side project to the death doom band Fall of Empyrean . Due to a name conflict with a band that was already active under the title Cease, the musicians changed their name to The Liquescent Horror after recording and before the release of the demo So Unravel's This Mortal Coil . The demo was freely available for download in self-published 2005 via SoundClick . The demo was described by Oscar Strik for Doom-Metal.com as "not for everyone", but interesting for fans of minimalist extreme Doom Metal . As a side project, The Liquescent Horror rested for a few years after its release until Medina and Burning released their debut A Funeral for Things Undying in 2009 via Satanarsa Records . It was hailed as "a compelling and original Funeral Doom album". Despite the expression of the musicians to expand their influence and to intensify the work with the project, The Liquescent Horror rested again after the release.

style

The Liquescent Horror plays a funeral doom that is perceived as "very depressive and hopeless music". For comparison, reference is made to lamentations and performers such as Dolorian , Skepticism and Worship . As a concept band, the band is meanwhile geared towards the complex of topics of the horror film . The duo states that they are actively trying to "set horror and cult films to music and to promote the fusion of acoustic and visceral horror."

Betrand Marchal describes the music for Doom-Metal.com as "dark and ironic" in an analogy to Roman Polanski's Dance of the Vampires . The music fulfills the stereotypes of Funeral Doom of “gurgling growling ” paired with “whispered vocals” and “roaring waves of heavy guitars”, but “the ubiquitous keyboard” is a unique thing that “sounds like an antique, out of tune piano”. According to Marchal, this sound "inevitably" arouses associations with dark stories and characters from Gothic Fiction .
