Well, I have to admit that It Will Come is one of the bands that I wasn’t waiting to show so many signs of development. At their first demo they caught me napping, because I wasn’t aware of their existence. Now they surprised me with their advancement.

“47” is the second release of this young Swedish and definitely its title needs proper decoding. However their music isn’t so enigmatic as this demo’s title. It is pretty straightforward that the band is into sheer doom metal. They are very heavy, very long and very slow, but their mark is clear. Their influences originate from the Scandinavian Peninsula and more specific we are talking about a band that is close to Candlemass (Epicus, Doomicus, Metalicus), Memory Garden (first era) and The 3rd and the Mortal (once again at their beginning). Now, I hear someone arguing that doom metal can’t have female vocals. Then it turns to some kind of atmospheric/doom/death/gothic/boobs metal. It’s pity that some people think so. Apparently they are the ones who miss the pleasure of listening to such good music. They are a lot of people that believe it and that a proper band in doom metal should have a singer with testicles. But I recall several bands that have male singers, who cry like pussies and weep woman-like. So, please leave your narrow-mindness aside and approach this very talented band.
OK. I made my speech. Now, what It Will Come have to offer? They offer you three songs (more than twenty five minutes) of pure doom metal. Nothing ground-breaking, but sincere and well performed. A virtue of the band is that they can give you the very atmosphere of the song, like in the case of “Sickness”, a song with distorted vocals by Louise Halldin, rotten riffs by Jonas Jorgensen and Alexander Wik Friden and absurd drumming by Christian Martinsson. Both other songs are in the same quality and despite their long duration they are not boring at all. Everything slows smoothing without any exaggerations and everything has its own purpose in the songs. The only disadvantage I can only trace is that sometimes Louise’s vocals are weak. I understand that in her attempt to sound fragile and to make more intense the whole atmosphere, she chooses to go ethereal. My personal opinion is that this kind of performance doesn’t fit with the powerful production and the very heavy sound they reach. Anyway this is a minor remark and believe me it was the only one I managed to find in this otherwise magnificent demo. Another concern is that It Will Come have to pass the test of time. What I mean is that they are a band ready to sing a contract, but when they have to compose more songs or to fit more songs in one lengthier release, they will have to show signs of maturity. I do not doubt that they will do so, but I am just ringing the bell…

As far as the rest concerns, the production of Mike Cameron is magnificent and totally professional. This band has checked every detail, even in such an unofficial release, like the simple, yet atmospheric cover by Robert Hoyem, which is right into the spirit of the release.

As a conclusion I encourage every one of you to purchase this demo. If you have any doubts about it you can go to their website and listen to their one song sample and the whole previous demo (Bound). I think that you have to award this hard working band. “47” is available for purchase, by contacting electronically with the band at info@itwillcome.se.

P.S. Judging from the length of my review I think that they made me really excited.
