Picture of Mental Torment - On the Verge... Mental Torment is a Death/Doom Metal band from Ukraine. This region has a lot of talent especially in creating music this wistful and brimming with unexpressed emotions that come out only through the music – such is the place perhaps. There is more than meets the eye or ears for that matter. Initial listens reveal nothing out of the ordinary but damn, this is a layered and intricate beast. Two guitarists and two keyboardists? Even then it seems so minimal, nothing saturating the atmosphere – in fact, the music has little time to breathe, which is the album’s plus point because in this case, play too slowly and do too little and our fickle attention will begin to wane. Here, the band has ensnared the listener in its Deathly grip and slowly coils around it with layers of emotions, one over the other, until the listener crumbles in submission to its plan. The beauty is that the leads are ever floating, the music reminiscent of Despond and the template Mental Torment is using is that of Evoken – both exemplary bands, not appreciated enough especially the former from France, another hotbed for music of this exp​ression. The music takes some time to grow on you, but once attuned to it, it’s magnificent. Once again, the presentation is first class – I can never stop appreciating the gold disc and beautiful artworks contained within, with phrases instead of entire song lyrics highlighting the essence of the songs. Mental Torment is a gem of an album; it’s only with close listens that you will truly admire its beauty. Kunal Choksi
