Before the standard review intro where I introduce a little about the band, let me just start by saying what an awesome album this record is, the word awesome doesn’t even come close to express the quality of this record… “To Reap Heavens Apart” is FUCKING AWESOME!!!! With that being said let me return to the review… PROCESSION is a Doom Metal band formed in 2006 in the city of Valparaiso, Chile by Daniel Perez and Felipe Plaza who were inspired by the great masters BLACK SABBATH, CANDLEMASS and SAINT VITUS to pick up their instruments and start wailing their sounds of anguish and doom.
Even better than their debut album, “Destroyers of the Faith”, “To Reap Heavens Apart” takes the quality of the musicianship to a whole new level, especially Plaza’s vocals that seem to have evolved and gotten better at conveying the feelings of despair required for Doom Metal, with a great example of it being the song “Death & Judgement”.
This album has got to be one of my favorites to come out this year and this band seems to have great promise, I hope they continue on and keep releasing good quality records for many years to come.
