Argentina just strikes me as an odd place for depressive/contemplative music as I imagine everyone there is beautiful and lives on the beach, but Fungoid Stream resists such (positive) stereotyping. Filled with cosmic angst, Celaenus Fragments flirts with death via entropy more than any suicidal urge. Along with containing some of the strangest drumming I've heard, period, much less in something as generally straightforward as funeral doom, Celaenus Fragments utilizes more of a breathy, raspy low grunt than a booming growl to convey existential despair. And it works. Oppressively.
Definitely not a straightforward band. From what I've picked up of his taste, I think these guys will strongly appeal to Mondo Bungle.
