שְׁאוֹל is a very short-lived project. The band didn't get to release an album except a demo, an EP and a split release with Swedish blackened death group Fōr. Despite this, שְׁאוֹל have managed to crack the ground beneath from which they were spawned with a couple of strong tracks not unlike Vorum, among others.
Hailing from the United Kingdom, this type of sound that שְׁאוֹל were promoting sounded rather peculiar along the shores. Immediate comparison can be drawn with the likes of Cruciamentum and Grave Miasma as well as its distant Mediterranean cousin, Dead Congregation. However, they retained that unique feel in their composition which was referred to as "cavern core" by some metal fans. There are doomy moments on this EP with a healthy amount of skull-smashing blast beats and of course, the thick chainsaw guitars.
Unfortunately, they didn't last long enough to release a record or two although they did go on several tours prior to dissolution. Sepulchral Ruins Below the Temple remains as שְׁאוֹל most sadistic, unrelenting offering to this undeserving world. The band also paid homage to their ancestor namely Darkthrone by covering Cromlech.
