Death Penalty – “Children of the Night” [Song Review]

From the ashes of legendary doom metal band, Cathedral, rises Gaz Jenning’s latest undertaking: Death Penalty. The group is slated to release their self-titled debut on September 16, featuring the track “Children of the Night”—an eerie, sludgy, and hauntingly heavy composition that essentially encompasses the ingenuity that Jenning’s new band defines.

The six-and-a-half minute song is a full on journey divulging the dreary genius that is Death Penalty. The slow and gloomy riffage creeps up on the listener and stays there, coupled with vocalist Michelle Nocon’s ethereal singing, this track is a testament to Gaz Jenning’s legendary musicianship. Death Penalty is unstoppable and “Children of the Night” will doom the listener to an unforgettable infatuation with the band’s deliciously dismal sound.
