I need a bit more than by-the-numbers doom metal nowadays, but that is all that this is really. This is not a terrible album by any means and is technically fine, it just seems to be lacking any real heart and I have listened to so much doom metal by now that this just doesn't cut it for me anymore. Sadly, Anesidora ticks none of these boxes and even though it is plain that as musicians Isole are exemplary, they seem to have lost the ability to craft songs that speak to these elements within us, which once they were well capable of. I enjoy doom metal best when I can connect with it on an emotional level, which is usually achieved either through a sense of deep melancholy, an overwhelming feeling of massive weight through crushing chords and tectonic riffs or, especially with epic doom, a triumphalist sense of power and glory. They do incorporate a nice keyboard sound on several tracks and I wonder if the album may have benefitted if they had beefed up that aspect for a more atmospheric affair. There are a couple of decent solos, but generally speaking this is a particularly unmemorable collection of tracks. The riffs are fairly anodyne and the vocals sound flat. The band have made a couple of attempts to change things up a bit - a viking metal-like influence on opening track The Songs of the Whales is something a bit different and on a couple of occasions they go for some harsh, growled vocals, but they aren't very convincing to be honest and just make matters worse. Well, sadly, it appears that things have not changed markedly at all. Now Anesidora marks their first full-length of the "twenties" and a hope (from me anyway) that things have taken an upturn once more.
Their output throughout that decade was reasonable enough, but lacked the punch and grandeur of their earlier material and marked a noticeable downturn in quality. Unfortunately as the '10s came around, the band began to plateau and appeared to be resting on their laurels somewhat, sounding more and more formulaic. Gives the shawl a half and half look where each color is more dominant on one side.Swedish doomsters Isole embrace the more epic side of doom metal and consistently produced some killer material throughout the first decade of the new millenium, with albums such as Bliss of Solitude and Silent Ruins sitting near the top of my all-time epic doom metal list. Uses one color for repeat rows 1-2 and 5-6 with a contrast on repeat rows 3-4 on side one, and swaps on side 2. Has one main color used for repeat rows 1-2 and 5-6 with a contrasting mini used for repeat rows 3-4 in the lace

The pattern lends itself well to any size kit or scrap stash and all the fringe is made from the ends, so this is a NO ENDS WONDER! The name itself means “sender of gifts” which feels seasonally appropriate during the season of giving. I’m so excited to bring you a new countdown/advent/scrappy pattern for this holiday season! I had to take a break in 2021 since I was in the final stretch of writing my book and I jumped at the chance to create this gorgeous piece to pair with the Plies & Hellhounds Pandora Myth themed countdown box.Īnesidora is an alternative name for Pandora of the famous Pandora’s Box myth.
