Praÿ - Hemerith
Release Date: December 04, 2020
Label: selfrelease
Format: Digital
Length: 24:17
Genre: Stoner Doom
Origin: Lyon, France

"Hemerith" is the second release by Lyon's Stoner Doom trio Praÿ. On their selftitled debut album, the French band has shown that they fancy to record songs with at least ten minutes in length. Hence, the new EP features two tracks with both around twelve minutes playtime.
Praÿ are:
Antoine Berthet-Bondet - drums,
Jason Rols - bass, and
Maud Gibbons - guitar.


"Hemerith" is like an amazingly long jam journey through deserted lands of beautiful darkness. The first song 'Faithless Goddess' is a gloomy Stoner Doom experience with a strong impact by oriental sounds. 'Widow of Light' is a bit more psychedelic and melodic, but still takes the listeners to the depths of a hallucinetic rush of Doom Metal and Stoner Rock.


Despite the minimalist line-up, Praÿ create a maximum of tension and atmosphere. Both songs on "Hemerith" are defined by a vast versatility and a hge amount of different themes that merge into each other. Thus, the two-track EP is a fantastic journey through landscapes unkwon to humankind. It feels like, the band is taking us on a flight over a planet that is not the home of our species. Instead, we get to knw the 'Faithless Goddess' and the 'Widow of Light' who show us around in their reality.
What a stunning release!
