Reception

[edit]

Powermetal.de [de] gave excellent criticism to Doomocracy's first three albums, first giving The End Is Written 9 out of 10 points, then scoring their sophomore a perfect 10, followed by another 9 for Unorthodox.[3][4][5] Vampster [de] saw Unorthodox as "a true masterpiece" and one of the greatest albums of 2022. "The music possesses a certain sacred atmosphere, created in part by the magnificent choirs. Instrumentally, the band takes a sophisticated and intricate approach. The riffs and drumming are significantly more exciting and varied than on most standard doom albums [...] Michael Stavrakakis, with his flawless vocals, is the cherry on top of the magnificent doom cake that is Unorthodox".[1]

Rock Hard gave 8 points to both The End Is Written and Unorthodox.[6][7] Norway's Scream Magazine was more reserved, giving 4 out of 6 points to Unorthodox. The sound was "very inspired" by Candlemass, Memory Garden and Solitude Aeturnus, and reminded of those bands throughout. The record was solid, but lost the 5 rating due to the last part being "more uneven".[8]
