Tumanduumband – Tumanduumband

Tumanduumband – Tumanduumband

Self released – 2019

Doom, Sludge

Rated: ***

Debuts are notoriously difficult to navigate and chart - they represent a band's talent, the direction in which they wish to travel and provide a snapshot of where the band is at that time. Stourbridge Doomsters Tumanduumband have offered up a four-track slab of Crepuscular Drone Doom that both delivers and promises much for the Future. The music works… Heavy, pulverizing and unforgiving, especially the closer "Deathless"  but you're suddenly on track four wondering where the time went. Therein lies the issue... separating the fout tracks in terms of solid identity is tricky and having no real voice to create focal points will be a big challenge for them in future. But the UP side is that Tumanduumband are solid, professional and engaging with a super stage presence and a great sense of Theatre... Once they can tie all those elements together, they'll Fly! Black Country Doom - as we say round here, it's "Bostin' Fittle'!
