專輯介紹：
瑞典人 Johan Ericson經過在Draconian(Swe)的10年磨後羽翼豐滿，在04年搞起了自己的單人團Doom:VS，06年處女作大獲成功，其優異度比“母團”Draconian的當年專輯更勝一湊。今年的新作又恰逢Draconian同時發片，在我看來Johan Ericson再次占了上風。坦率說Draconian(Swe)已經夠經典了，非凡的創作力保證了他們一直都能做到“發片必勝”的高質量穩定性，不然也不會成爲90末“哥特死厄”的一面旗。其新專輯是一貫的放心之作，前提是你對“美女與野獸”的“老鹹菜”仍然沒有審美疲勞。如果說Draconian(Swe)多少也算是唯美浪漫派，色調偏“亮”的話，Doom:VS就是極端陰暗派，完全徹底的一片漆黑（看2者封面就知道）。對旋律的相對“漠視”、更重型的音量、更緩慢的速度、更氛圍化的空間感……，在很多方面Doom:VS已經和Funeral Doom靠得很近。新專輯較之上一張更重、更陰暗，並且在向Melodic Funeral Death Doom的“中間路線”靠攏。第3首《The Lachymal Sleep》中段漫長的旋律鋪張達到了無休止的程度，這是優秀的旋律派“死厄”標志性的“餘音繞梁”境界。另外我還很意外的聽到：在很多段落、節奏的轉換處出現了Opeth的影子，盡管很細微，但絕對是個值得關注的現象。這年頭跟Opeth挨上點遍就跟占了“仙氣”似的？其實沒有這點“仙氣”， Doom:VS一樣的“屌”。其實，上乘的音樂是一回事，它根本無法解釋：爲什麽Doom:VS能在如此短的時間迅速上位成爲一線大牌的？比起太多“有實力沒名氣”的二線小團來說，Doom:VS太幸運了，因爲他一開始就站在“巨人”Draconian的肩膀上。這樣的成名例子俯首皆是，“酒香也怕巷子深”在哪裏都是至理名言。不過話說回來，Doom:VS的音樂終究還是擺脫不了Draconian的影響，沒有在Draconian的“掛職鍛煉”哪來今天的Johan Ericson？從這一點來說Doom:VS的出現絕不是偶然，我們也見慣了太多強團出強人的事例，所謂：“牛人本來不牛，跟牛團混著混著日子長了自然就牛了。”

Johan Ericson is a multitalented musician and producer with a number of projects of his own. The most distinguished of these is DRACONIAN; a gothic/doom act which Johan established in 1994. From the profound elevation of this distinct mind calls also the spirit of DOOM:VS; a project born from the idea of constructing something utterly dark and personal in the unique field of doom metal.
Near the closure of 2004 the self produced demo album, Empire of the Fallen, was released; a four track obscure and prominent contribution to the doom metal underground. The demo was very well received and led to a deal with the Finish label Firedoom Music (extreme doom metal specialist label of Firebox Records).
Soon after that the debut album Aeternum Vale was recorded and finally released in 2006 and made very good reviews throughout the doom metal community.
In January 2008 the work began on yet another album. Dead Words Speak was written and recorded by Johan himself at the DRACONIAN rehearsal room. With a more heavy approach regarding the sound than previous efforts the music is both darker and more eerie than ever before. Filled with emotion and despair Dead Words Speak is a personal settlement with the past. Almost crushing sometimes the music don’t lack the evocative melodies that signifies DOOM:VS.
