about

TodoMal are back with "A Greater Good", their new studio album. The Spanish duo formed by Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernández (Asgaroth, Nexus 6, The Heretic, Dejadeath, etc.) bring a collection of "dark songs" (as they like to define it), which began with the seeds planted in "Ultracrepidarian," their debut album, and has evolved into a complex, dense, and unclassifiable album that takes us on a journey through somber landscapes, existential doubts, tragicomedy, and spiritual and personal unrest.

"A Greater Good" poses challenging questions, wrapped in music
that is sometimes dark and at other times luminous, spanning from slow-tempo to progressive rock to quasi-mystical litanies. The path they embarked upon with their debut album, leading to desolate landscapes and the emptiness of the plateau, has continued into darker territories, reminiscent of tenebrist altarpieces, where doubts about what is right or wrong, what we do in this world to earn redemption, or why we have a nefarious tendency to destroy what we love are depicted against a smoldering forest.

The journey continues, despite the obstacles.

"A Greater Good" boasts ambitious production to accommodate all its elements, like pieces of a giant mosaic. Vocal harmonies, acoustic elements, and occasional orchestral arrangements blend with serpentine opera-rock pieces, making their way by clawing through the earth.

The sophomore album of this prolific space doom duo will no doubt appeal to fans of bands like CANDLEMASS, KRUX, PINK FLOYD, AVATARIUM and, we dare say, old GHOST!. Doom on!

One of the greatest doom albums ever made. I still have the original DVD-case edition, and it's one of my most treasured albums. This inspired me hugely in my own musical journey over the years. Mike Lamb

Este para mi fue sin duda uno de los mejores lanzamientos del 2021, gran trabajo de Rise To The Sky, death doom atmosférico que desde el primer momento que lo escuchas te envuelve en ese ambiente de tristeza y dolor, melodías cargadas de emotividad que te llegan a lo mas profundo, me encanta cuando la música logra hacerte sentir lo que siente el artista, melancolía pura y perfección en cada canción.
