Really good, heavy, darker rock with a sound that will surely refuse to become dated by the passing of time. To me, it sounds somewhat like a darker Suzi Quatro, Joan Jett, or Pat Benatar might. I highly recommend this album. The choruses and ‘chanting’ (for lack of a better term) are catchy and compelling to sing along to (especially the chorus of Golden Serpents). Vocals, song structures, and band chemistry are great. Thanks, Dool! I look forward to your next offering. 8/10.
Favorite track: In Her Darkest Hour.

This is pure alt rock going down with the darkness.
The music/sing is really well played, the composition is a masterpiece and my guts and neurons love that like a new old thing.

Holland's most notorious rock musicians have gathered to form DOOL, a dark rock band featuring bassist Job van de Zande and drummer Micha Haring from celebrated cult rockers The Devil's Blood and the country's most infamous rock singer, the striking Ryanne van Dorst. Rounded out by guitarists Nick Polak (Gold) and Reinier Vermeulen (The New Media), DOOL radiates an undeniable raw energy and has created a distinct and dynamic sound right from the start. On the strength of its captivating debut single, "Oweynagat", and a red hot live performance at Roadburn 2016, DOOL has quickly become a hotly-tipped buzz band in underground circles.
DOOL's much anticipated debut album, "Here Now, There Then", is set for release on February 17, 2017, and proves all advance praise to be more than justified. Recorded by producer Pieter Kloos (The Devil's Blood, Motorpsycho), "Here Now, There Then" is an album of supreme songwriting and remarkable musical diversity, blending classic hard rock, gothic pop and psychedelic metal in an ever-surprising manner. Carried by infinite, hypnotic guitar lines, DOOL takes the listener from dark caves, inhabited by ancient ghosts on its debut single "Oweynagat", to the deep abysses of a broken heart on cuts like "Death of Love". From the sensual and teasing ("Words on Paper"), to the imposing and ominous (the 10 minute epic "Vantablack"), DOOL hits every pressure point, striking with the deadly precision of a venomous asp.
""Here Now, There Then" is about dreaming, ambition and will," says Ryanne van Dorst. "The album is about breaking boundaries and behavioral patterns while destroying stigmas. It is a mantra for whoever needs it and in any way one chooses to use it. It is the shadow lands between fantasy and reality. A fairy tale in a concrete background."
Dutch for "wandering", the sound of DOOL is a call to let oneself float freely and weather the storms of everyday life, taking flight into the wild unknown…all those who wander are DOOL.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

I saw E-L-R on Tour with Wolves in the Throne Room in Münster/Germany earlier this year. Beautiful post black metal and pretty nice guys - met them by the merch table after the concert. Sælzer Bub

This album is a different beast compared to their first effort, 'The Light'. Guitar ripping is more present and voice is even more haunting and ethereal, making this album more intimidating and less subtle. If that is a good or bad thing, it depends on the taste of the listener.
As their previous record, this is a downward spiral into the abyss, diving deep through the darkness. Dionysos Nyktelios
