FUOCO FATUO “Backwater”
Italy’s funeral death doom enigma FUCO FATUO have completed work on their new album “Backwater” which is set to be released on April 7th on CD/2xLP/Digital.
“Backwater” is an enveloping and suffocating funeral death doom opus, the distressing awareness of the nothingness, transcending in the oblivion, and feeding on the black void. The relationship between state of mind and nature, the desolation and vast sense of distance are the main themes. An introspective, mournful journey, deeply rooted into the unknown. Like a flood of impenetrable black magma.
“Backwater” track listing:
- Sulphureous Hazes
- Rainfalls Of Debris
- Perpetual Apochaos
- Nemesis
