Death Penalty

Released: Aug 2014
Label: Rise Above Limited
The metal world may well hit its limit of pagan doom bands fronted by women who can actually sing while drawing down the moon – but not yet, if U.K./Belgium-based Death Penalty are any indication. Michelle Nocon floats above the action, ghostliest in the archetypal "Children of the Night," then warbling Kate Bushy incantations in "The One That Dwells." But she gets earthy, too: See biker speedup "Immortal by Your Hand." Cathedral vet Gaz Jennings meanwhile gets his Buck Dharma on, beautifully - "Eyes of the Heretic" even seems to tap BÖC's Byrds side, via the Bangles' "Hazy Shade of Winter"!
