Circle of Ouroborus - Shores
March 21 2008 at 12:44:07 AM

As Black Metal's creative well continues to evaporate, bands are more actively combining different genres within their mournful and or minimalist chemistry. Finland's Circle of Ouroborus has chosen from various UK splinter scenes, turning out dark plums of occult-inspired death-rock for their debut record. But despite a relatively faithful cover of Joy Division's "She's Lost Control,”
Shores sounds like nothing so much as The Fall's
Dragnet slowed down a few rpm, a drowsy dead end ride.
