Skeletal Spectre are a band with members from both Sweden and the United States that plays a mixture of doom, old school death metal and d-beat and this is a review of their 2013 album "Voodoo Dawn" which was released by Pulverised Records.
Drums range from slow to mid paced playing with not much in the way of fast drumming or blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffs that combine old school death metal, doom and d-beat together to create a sound of their own with some dark sounding melodies being thrown into the riffing, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding death metal guitar solos and leads.
Vocals range from deep death metal growls to high pitched screams as well as some samples along with some clean singing being utilized on the last song, while the lyrics cover Voodoo, Occultism, and Satanism, as for the production it has a very strong, powerful, heavy, dark, and professional sound to it.
In my opinion Skeletal Spectre are a very great sounding hybrid of doom and old school death metal and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Voodoo Dawn" "Altar Of Damballah" "She Wolf of Devil's River" and "The Flip-Side Of Satan". RECOMMENDED BUY.
