With her second full-length album “Atropos”, she unveils a towering and singular doom metal wonder in a unique visioning reminiscent of My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, and Evoken.

With their latest opus “Obsidian Katabasis” (to be released April 02, on CD/2LP/Digital), Italian doom metal cult FUOCO FATUO have implemented their most towering, suffocating, darkest and most abstract work yet.  UPDATE: “Obsidian Katabasis” now available for pre-order on CD/2xLP.

Following up their massive 2017 release “Backwater” which saw the band morph into a more monstrous entity by heightening their doom metal paradigm into more funeral-like realms where their sound became more amalgamous with the likes of such luminaries as Disembowelment, Tyranny, and Esoteric, “Obsidian Katabasis” sees FUOCO FATUO venture even further into the otherworldly obscure undiscovered dimension. Elements…

The new GODTHRYMM single-EP “The Vastness Silent” is out now and can be streamed on all platforms.  It features a new song of said title, a track the UK doom metal power-trio didn’t get the chance to finish in time for the recording of their “Reflections” debut LP released earlier this year, and a reworked version of their “We Are The Dead (And Dreaming)” anthem.  Both tracks were recorded/mixed/mastered by Mark Mynett (My Dying Bride).  Artwork by Brian D’Agosta.
