The Garden

H.L. Melodic doom death metal with a decent gothic atmosphere between melancholy and sadness and with many different vocal styles, female, clean male and growls is rare nowadays. I have liked this style since the 90s and still do. A similar atmosphere spread Theatre of Tragedy on some albums, November's Doom or Beseech, later Ghost Brigade, Swallow the Sun or Draconian. Songs like "The Garden", "The Four Winds", "The Song of Spring" or "The Fireside" are filled with emotion and perfect for winter. Favorite track: The Four Winds.

Alice M. I honestly didn’t know about this band. Sounds like… an Amorphis × Draconian × Dark Tranquillity mashup? Kind of? With lots of female vocals as well. TLDR→Beautiful.
Funeral Fog

Funeral Fog Hanging Garden are the masters of melancholic doom. This album builds upon their previous release Skeleton Lake. Giant production on a bigger label, well deserved by this band! Favorite track: The Journey.

about

HANGING GARDEN formed in 2004, starting out as a heavy, doom-oriented project. Roughly two decades, seven albums and a couple of line-up shuffles later, the band shifted to a more melodic, contemporary sound, surrounded by a veil of melancholy.

The compositions are dark, atmospheric & emotional, and concomitantly lean towards open-minded and playful musicality. While entrenched in metal's doom, gothic and melodeath branches, HANGING GARDEN displays a versatile, many-layered style of playing, packs female & male vocals, and draws influence & inspiration from music and art, far and wide.

The new album - "The Garden" - dives deep into atmospheres both "tender and harsh, devilish and serene" and "embarks upon a journey to mankind's spiritual roots, contemplating the fragility of our technological society" - as poetically described by the band. "There is a kind of energy in the songs that there wasn’t before," introspects Toni Hatakka of HANGING GARDEN. "A feel of hope to contrast our old friend the despair, a strong notion of action against the familiar melancholy, or maybe a light amidst the comfortable gloom."

"The Garden", the follow-up to "Skeleton Lake" (2021), was produced by Jussi Hämäläinen (vocals, guitars) and Jarno Hänninen. The album was mixed and mastered by the latter at D-studio (Beherit, Shape of Despair). Cover artwork and new band photos are by Finnish artist Kalle Pyyhtinen. "The Garden" marks the return of new-old drummer Antti Ruokola, last seen in HANGING GARDEN seven years ago.

HANGING GARDEN may appeal to fans of Swallow the Sun, Ghost Brigade, October Tide, Katatonia and Type 0 Negative.
