Accabadora – Mazzolu
Self-released – 2026
Metal, Doom, Black
Rated: ***

After a quiet knock heard at dusk in an old and dusty village, one will know the end has come. A new three-piece dragged from the depths of a twisted night and the brink of demise. They’re called Accabadora and hail from the Netherlands. Fronted by Maurice de Jong, the man behind the experimental project Gnaw Their Tongues. Their first EP Mazzolu will be out on February 1st and will undoubtedly move all Conan and Amenra heads. This is doom metal not played but administered. As if summoned from a shadowed dimension where time slows and every breath is heavy.

As are the vocals, suffocating benediction that crushes the ear and leaves silences trembling in its wake. There is a ritual here, pitiless and steady like a funeral march. Those riffs, rough and jagged one moment and then almost calming, for an instance, as if mercy briefly flickers like moonlight across a blade. Doom is here the last sacrament, and the drums hit with the weight of finality, each blow echoing that final heartbeat heard in that ancient house in that old and dusty village…
