Marianas Rest - The Bereaved (Turquoise Vinyl) 2LP

With “The Bereaved”, Finnish doom metal collective Marianas Rest deliver an expansive and emotionally devastating album that fully embraces grief, loss and existential reflection. Spanning two LPs, the record unfolds slowly and deliberately, allowing its crushing weight and melancholic beauty to resonate deeply with the listener.

Musically, The Bereaved is rooted in funeral and melodic doom metal, blending massive, down-tuned riffs with slow-burning tempos, atmospheric keyboards and deeply expressive melodies. The band masterfully balances oppressive heaviness with moments of fragile beauty, creating songs that feel both suffocating and strangely comforting. Each track is built with patience, allowing emotions to evolve naturally rather than relying on immediate impact.

Lyrically, the album explores themes of mourning, remembrance and emotional endurance, capturing the emptiness left behind by loss while searching for meaning within it. The vocals move between deep, resonant growls and mournful clean passages, reinforcing the album’s introspective and cinematic nature.

Presented as a turquoise vinyl 2LP, this edition enhances the immersive experience of The Bereaved. The extended format gives the album room to breathe, making it ideal for full-length listening sessions where atmosphere, flow and emotional weight truly shine. The Bereaved stands as a powerful testament to doom metal’s ability to channel sorrow into something profoundly moving.
