UK trailblazers FAMYNE drag Doom kicking and screaming into the 21st century on their epic new album 'The Ground Below'. The heart-rending new album from these melancholic game-changers will see a May 13th, 2022 release via Svart Records. In support of the announcement, Famyne has released the first single from the album, titled "For My Sins". Check out the music video for the new track below!
Hailing from the heart of the garden of England, Canterbury gloom-fathers Famyne slug and soar their way up and out from the underground, shaking off the shackles of genre constraints on their new album 'The Ground Below'. Since their inception in 2014, Famyne have been rapidly building an incendiary reputation for themselves with an epic universe all of their own, magnetizing more souls into the orbit of their unique expansion of masterful Doom metal. From their self-titled EP in 2015 and earning a place at Bloodstock Open Air 2016, to their breakout self-titled full-length in 2018, Famyne have been constantly turning heads as a promising new light in the darkness.
'The Ground Below' is a brave and inimitable statement that re-draws a line in the sands of Metal tradition. Famyne boldly marches over the limits, re-riffing the rules, washing listeners in pristine waves of hypnotic melody on 8 tablets of stone-carved ageless songs that “The Ground Below” lays on the altar. Tracks like For My Sins and Babylon conjure paragon English Doom with a long line of lineage like country-mates Warning, Paradise Lost, Pagan Altar, and Cathedral to songs like A Submarine where warm oceans of sweeping guitars and wide-screen desperate euphony bring to mind
genre-changing pioneers like Anathema and Porcupine Tree.
Mind-blowing Lead vocalist Tom Vane’s omnipotent vocals deliver the shivers in dynamite doses, unearthing perfect hair-raising emotions that are at once timeless and freshly captivating. It is an understatement to acknowledge how exceptionally unforgettable Famyne’s distinct voice is. The guitars of Martin Emmons and Tom Ross range from an Iommi masterclass to Åkerfeldt progression in a heartbeat, delivering breath-taking riff-mountains that are sumptuously original and catchy in both style and opulent panache. It
is Famyne’s canny confidence to re-mold traditional Doom metal artistry with their own wave of emotive progression that makes “The Ground Below” a brilliant restoration of the craft, reminding us how crushing and poignant innovative Doom Metal can be if done with passion. Fans of everything from Opeth, Katatonia to Soundgarden and all the trad legends of Sabbath, St Vitus, and Solitude Aeturnus will be suitably wowed in Famyne’s wake. “The Ground Below” is a modern classic, reverential but so supremely powerful that Famyne have securely carved their own place on the monoliths of the future.
