The Morbidious One

Description

Columbarium is a Belgian (from the village of Zwevegem) heavy doom metal band that originated in mid-2021, but was conceived by experienced members of the regional doom scene over ten years ago. Having played around a hundred concerts in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France with bands like The Gates Of Slumber, Nekromant, Marche Funebre, Serpent Venom, FAAL, Famyne, and King Hiss, the band has built a serious reputation as a live act over the last decade. The addition of an extra guitarist/keyboardist a few years ago (Koen Biesbrouck, formerly of the avant-garde/instrumental rock band Locus Control) pushed the music towards a new horizon, and this new sound was the birthplace of the band's rebirth and led to renaming the group to Columbarium. The four guys found this sound by engaging with Belgian producer Lander Cluyse from Hearse Studio (a.o. Amenra and Aborted) and with Brad Boatright from AudioSiege Mastering Studio (Portland/USA - a.o. Monolord and Pig Destroyer). Together, they found the sound they had always sought in the Flemish clay: atmospheric heavy doom metal, à la Columbarium!
