Description/Reviews: 

The trio ... can best be described as depressive black metal. But it’s not the usual corpse-painted faces or grating, regressive guitars and lack of bass… far from it. My Mind Is Too Weak To Forget acts more like a wistful yet grey-tinged soundtrack, blessed with some of the most traumatising vocals I’ve heard in a long while.

In a sense, Dreariness are hard to describe as a musical entity. For the most part the music is quite mellow, often drenched in gothic eeriness, a peculiar, alien-stirred cauldron of ashen landscapes which are painted with relatively sombre guitars and mid-tempo drums, coupled with more melancholic passages.

However, the key ingredient of the opus is the vocals – if you wish to call them that. The wonderfully named Tenebra has the gristly guile of the most tortured of banshees, her drawn-out screams of anguish and pain sound like the last gurgled strains of a witch being hung, drawn and quartered.
