Three years ago, during the middle of a pandemic, needing something to occupy my mind beyond confinement with my then five-year-old daughter, I submitted my first review as a reviewer for The Sleeping Shaman. At the time, I had no real awareness of where this new journey would lead me, but as a fan of heavy music for over thirty-something years, I always felt that I had it in me to at least talk a good album. Since then, I have rev...

Σε μια συγγενική ηχητική κατάσταση με μπάντες όπως οι Forlesen και οι Lotus Thief - με τους οποίους εξάλλου μοιράζονται δύο μέλη - οι Inherus παραδίδουν ένα αντίστοιχα πολύχρωμο και πολυστιλιστικό έργο. Το doom είναι μάλλον το κυρίαρχο στυλ εδώ, οι έξι μακροσ�...

Across the likes of Lotus Thief, Forlesen and Botanist, Beth Gladding (aka Bezaelith) has demonstrated an inclination towards music that is atmospheric and/or unusual; her latest project Inherus continues this trend.

Gladding joined a project initially formed by Anthony DiBlasi (Witchkiss), Brian Harrigan (Swallow The Ocean) and Andrew Vogt (Lotus Thief, Swallow The Ocean), and the sludgy, doomy natures of Witchkiss and Swallow The Ocean gi...

Metal aus New York? Da dürften die ersten Assoziationen klar sein. BIOHAZARD, du bist gemeint! Das auf „Beholden“ von INHERUS ein anderer Wind weht, dürfte beim Anblick der mythologisch angehauchten Flora und Fauna des Artworks obligatorisch sein.

Mit links kurz angetäuscht, mit rechts locker verwandelt – INHERUS gehen den Weg des langsamsten Widerstands

Mit dem Opener „Forgotten Kingdom“ startet das Debütalbum der New Yorker, mit...

Non si può certo dire che in casa Hypnotic Dirge Records abbiano lesinato sul senso di vertigine, fissando l’altezza dell’asticella delle attese nel booklet che ha accompagnato l’arrivo in redazione dell’album di esordio di un quartetto su cui evidentemente la label portoghese/canadese ha deciso di puntare carte importanti, ma, oltre ai doverosi e meritati complimenti per la qualità formale del booklet (tutt’altro che sco...

Inherus stammt aus Hudson Valley, New York, und wurde im Sommer 2018 von Brian Harrigan und Anthony DiBlasi gegründet. Andrew Vogt stieß kurz darauf dazu und Beth Gladding vervollständigte später nach einer Audition das Line-up. Das Quartett lässt sich von einem breiten Spektrum an musikalischen und kreativen Einflüssen inspirieren und vermischt verschiedene Elemente kreativ miteinander um neue Klänge zu schmieden.

Das 60-min Alb...

Wat je vaak ziet als een genre overbevolkt raakt, is dat bands gaan zoeken naar elementen van andere genres om deze te integreren in het geluid. In dat opzicht is het niet gek dat je steeds meer bands ziet die post metal met andere genres combineren. Inherus is bijvoorbeeld zo’n band. Het gezelschap maakt een mengeling van doom en post metal. Dat is op zich niet zo vernieuwend en vaker gedaan, maar de band geeft daar ook een zweem van ps...

If all these bodies, metaphorical or otherwise, piling up in the dank basement of this post then rest assured – angelic, etherial doom is here to save your souls. The music here is obviously wonderful, transitioning from doom to post-metal atmospheres and sometimes prog. So, grade-A shit. But I'm here for Bezaelith's voice, sorry. That's just the way it goes. Like a ray of moonlight in vocal form. What a gift. FFO: Forlesen, Empress, Su...

Having a look online at where Inherus sit musically their members have come from various bands such as Witchkiss, Botanist, Swallow The Ocean and Lotus Thief to name but four. It’s labelled as a mix of post-metal and heavy rock that takes in black metal, doom, psyche on its musical journey.

So, when it starts with a roar and a warm guitar sound that bows at the alter of the Lord Tony Iommi it’s not what I expected at all. Forgotte...

It’s been almost a year since Hypnotic Dirge Records has given us any new music, having closed up their original base of operations in Canada last Summer and moved everything to Portugal. After some unfortunate logistical snafus, the gates to the kingdom have reopened, and a flood of new releases are already lined up. Last month saw the release of the sophomore album from death/doom titans Orphans of Dusk (their first in 8 years!), and now...
