Mick (Goliath) Rowe and his brother Jamie initially formed the melodic metal band Tempest and released two infamous albums - A Coming Storm and Eye Of The Storm - on the defunct Pure Metal label in the late eighties.  While Jamie went on to greater fame and acclaim as the front man of Guardian, the  6' 4" Mick released two albums with Midnight Orchestra before returning with a new band aptly called Goliath.  Whereas Tempest gravitates towards the fluffy commercial hair metal of the eighties, Goliath flexes its muscles and comes across about as subtle as a punch in the mouth.  Its 2001 full length debut The Gate combines massive doom-like riffs and a heavy groove feel with a down tuned low end heaviness that cannot help but remind you of Black Sabbath.  If the likes of Danzig, Rose and Place Of Skulls happen to be your cup of tea, then I cannot help but give Goliath a strong recommendation.
Mick, for a lack of better words, is a monster on rhythm guitar, adorning the album with huge riffs of a monumental capacity that bring to mind Jimmy Brown (Deliverance) at his very best.  And I love the way his gruff and guttural lead vocal style stands in perfect complement to the dark and heavy feel to the music here.  Wil D. Kay (is this the guys REAL name?) and Michael X form a rhythm section characterized by muscular bass lines and a powerful drum sound.  The only weakness in Goliath's performance, on the other hand, is the lack of confidence it displays in its instrumental sound.  For example, several tracks fail to include an instrumental passage while others are held back by lead guitar work that is of the restrained variety.  I cannot help but think the albums the top notch material would have come across even better if backed by some fiery guitar leads.  That being said, the music on The Gate is of very high quality in that each of its eight tracks holds up under repeated play with noteworthy melodies that pull you in on first listen.
Production values are quite laudable in allowing for a prevailing rhythm guitar sound that is mixed to near perfection.  While a bit of muddiness prevents the drums from always standing out in the mix, the bass comes across full and heavy.
It is worth pointing out that between many of the albums tracks a voice of a preacher can be heard delivering a sermon-like message relevant to the lyrics of the song that follows.
Getting the album underway to a slowly played guitar line, "Hurricane" takes off to a throaty growl from Mick before a massive slab of guitar driven energy impels it to a chorus with a catchy refuse to go away hook.  I wish the band had expanded upon an instrumental passage limited to a few brief seconds of rhythm guitar.
After the albums title track begins slowly, a doom-like riff fades in and conveys it at a mid-tempo pace to a fleeting chorus resonating a portentous feel.  The doomy atmosphere is enhanced as the song breaks for several seconds of biting lead guitar work.

Veni Domine combines down-tempo melodic heavy metal, symphonic metal and doom metal with occasional touches of gothic. Originally, the vocalist Fredrik Ohlsson represented operatic, high-pitched vocals but has since shifted to more lower vocal range during the years. Fall Babylon Fall and Material Sanctuary are the band's significant, acclaimed albums. During the time when these album's were released, Veni Domine was well-known in the metal scene. However, as their later albums took longer time to be released and gained average reviews, Veni Domine was more or less forgotten in the metal mainstream. Currently Veni Domine is a cult band of a small audience.[2] Veni Domine does not clearly fit into a specific category; According to the band, in doom metal festivals they are labeled as "power metal" and in power metal events as "doom metal".
During the early years, the band's lyrics dealt with apocalyptic themes from Biblical point of view. Currently their lyrics are more about personal topics.

The best way to describe 23:59, the latest effort from Sweden’s Veni Domine, would be a musical continuation of its excellent 2004 release The Album Of Labour.  The album, for example, finds the band distancing itself even further from the progressive metal leanings of its earlier recordings such as Fall Babylon Fall and Material Sanctuary and moving in a direction reflective of a more epic doom-like vibe not unlike that of fellow Swede’s Mirador.  A dark and moody atmosphere, at the same time, cannot help but bring to mind a goth influence or even a touch of the blues as well.  If I were to invite a comparison, the material on 23:59 is not quite as catchy as that on The Album Of Labour but that does not mean it is any less noteworthy.  For example, tracks such as “Valley Of Visions”, “Living Sequence” and “The Frozen” are all well constructed in bringing the same high level of technical expertise found on the bands previous efforts.  That being said, Veni Domine does pull some surprises here, the main one being a lack of emphasis on its instrumental sound- which I find to be particularly disappointing.  Guitarist Torbjorn Weinesjo, a very fine talent, does not always cut loose like he has in the past and, as a result, many of the albums track lack that “extra something special” that only a well timed instrumental section can provide.  Vocalist Fredrik Sjoholm, on the other hand, puts forth type of high quality performance one would expect from him, his vocal delivery now coming across in a lower key that easily complements the darker feel to the music here.  The rhythm section of drummer Thomas Weinesjo and bassist Gabriel Ingemarson returns along with keyboardist Mats Librandt. 
While production values are crisp and clean in allowing for a crunchy rhythm guitar and a clean mix of lead guitar, a touch of muddiness in the low end prevents the drums from always standing out as they should.
The album opens in very fine fashion to three catchy numbers in “Like I’m Crucified”, “Shine” and “Patience, Receive” that would sound right at home on The Album Of Labour.
After “Like I’m Crucified” slowly proceeds through its verse portions as a brush of keyboards fade in and out of the mix, an edgy rhythm guitar steps forward as it picks up in pace for a good catchy chorus.  An eerie instrumental section is carried its extent by a heavy duty bass line that underscores a blend of guitar and keyboards.

Two years since "Fall Babylon Fall" until VENI DOMINE returned, "Material Sanctuary" had been the title, again crowned by one of the awesome covers of Rodney Matthews.
Musically they haven't changed a lot, only the doomy element has put more emphasis on, so you could categorise the Swedes as Progressive Doom without second thought. But still the songs nor are so complex that you'd be in danger of knotting your brain, neither so accessible that you'll get lost from first listen, it takes a few rotations until you get into the VENI DOMINE-sound and Fredrik Ohlsson's voice still is a question of personal taste, you either love it or hate it, there isn't much space in-between, I admit it...
While songs like "Material Sanctuary" or "Ritual Of The Sinner" are more on the progressive side, "The Mass" is real doom with organ- and keyboard-support, like the grandfathers of Doom could not have performed better and as perfect mixture of both extremes we have "Behold The Signs", great!
Overall "Material Sanctuary" doesn't completely reach the extra-class of "Fall Babylon Fall", but still it is an album far above average and which each and every Progressive-fan should have in his/her collection!
