Baal = LP = (LP)
Baal is comprised of five tracks that follow the band's charted course of morose exploration, but find them bringing some crunch into their dirges. Where Sentencia had a medieval, blackly-plagued vibe to it, Baal is more directly doomed. As much as they're within the doom genre, they're almost never limited by it, and from bassist Marco Serrato Gallardo's victorious vocal warble on "Taurus" to the recklessly rhythmic drive of "Hanin Ba'al," it seems Orthodox could go anywhere at any moment and be able to pull something coherent out of it. That's no easy feat when you're working with this kind of sonic breadth. With just three members in the band - Gallardo is joined as ever by guitarist Ricardo Jimenez Gómez and drummer Borja Diaz Vera - Orthodox manage to completely set an atmosphere both expansive and encompassing, despite a traditionally doomed, spacious feel in the songs.
