Diesto is a doom rock band from Portland, Oregon. With well more than a decade of experience, the band embarked on a mission to write and record music (like every musician). But I don’t believe they really made an impact in Europe, during al those years of touring and releasing records.
In The meanwhile, they have arrived at their fifth LP/CD: “For Water Or Blood”, witch turned out to be melancholic doom (witch reminds me a bit of Mastodon)
Now it isn’t a bad record, but they overdid it a bit to much with their melancholic and doom influences. Or at least a bit to much for my taste. Although the riffs or clearly well thought over and rather clever, hearing it 200 times in a row in a depressed way is not my idea of a good record although I have to admit I love the sound of these guys.
