Rejoice In Moribund is one of those obscure bands that don’t really have a lot of information on them out there. Metal Archives cites a Rejoice In Moribund from the Netherlands that split in 2010 that performed funeral doom, which is exactly what this music is, this is a revival of the project after so many years with a new promo/demo in 2021.
Listeners get 2 tracks here in standard funeral doom fashion- long, thick, plodding sounds with a thick swirling abrasive muck of vocals, guitars, and percussive drums. The adding of funeral organ to a track like ‘Behind The Plutonium…’ adds a lot more depth to the music especially with the marching tone of the drums which offsets that thick, doomy riffs that dominates most of the 18 minute track. Definitely in the vein of a group like Helllight if we don’t include any clean vocals.
The vocals are thick deep growls or more of the typical high pitched shrieks heard in black metal, much like Xasthur, but not as murky. It is a lot to swallow for the average doom metal listener so those who are not used to such epic proportions might end up quitting halfway through, but it is worth the ride just to get to the organ part right around
12:47.
‘Equality Through Obliteration’ is more the straightforward funeral doom akin to groups like Catacombs. Very long drawn out riffs that are a bit murkier with a simple pace and tone. Very stripped down and basic for funeral doom. It may get a bit repetitive and boring compared to the previous track, bit aside from the horns added in the background and the acoustic break down interlude, this is pretty much the bread and butter for a funeral doom track.
Unfortunately there is not much more to go on but from just these two it definitely sounds like Rejoice In Moribund is going for more of a funeral symphonic doom direction with some progressive elements, so those who are fans of the genre will definitely enjoy this. It isn’t for everyone with the lengthy tracks and fuzzy sound, but those who like deep contemplative music that sounds more atmospheric than the average doom band will be right at home with Rejoice In Moribund.
