SKEPTICISM BIOGRAPHY
Skepticism from Finland is one of the pioneers of funeral doom metal. The combination of very slow metal music and the unique Skepticism instrumentarium and style have made the band one of the most outstanding within the doom metal genre as a whole.
The band uses only four instruments: drums, played with felt beaters, keyboards with organ pedals, guitar, and vocals. With this, they create songs that are both within the range of contemporary doom metal in terms of heaviness and slowness, yet far without the range where atmosphere and sound is considered.
Besides the music, Skepticism purposefully create a mysterious and abstract atmosphere, it terms of lyrics, artwork, contact with the outside world, and performance.
