Elliott’s Keep (USA)- Vulnerant Omnes - Reviewed By obliveon ! Check it out here at this link: https://obliveon.de/review/elliotts-keep-vulnerant-omnes/

I have to publicly admit that I didn't know ELLIOTT'S KEEP from Dallas, Texas, despite the fact that “Vulnerant Omnes” is already the band's fifth long-player, which will be released with a little delay the United States of A found me.

However, the trio doesn't play the "usual" Texas Metal, which I really admire. Although ELLIOTT'S KEEP also have a progressive streak, they mainly mix it with elements from Doom Metal, but also from the traditional area and occasionally even Death Metal.

This results in anything but the so-called “easy listening”. Although instrumentally high-quality, the common thread is missing one or the other time. I can recommend the sluggish roller 'Vanguard Of Despair' and the slightly anthemic 'Et Sanguinum', grooving in mid tempo, as a few tips for playing.

All listeners and Sabaton fans can confidently ignore it, but if you have a heart for really independent Doom, you should check out ELLIOTT'S KEEP.
