FFO: Deafheaven, Oathbreaker, Alcest
British black metal band Underdark’s visceral new single ‘Death of a Toolmaker’, is out today via Church Road Records. The single is taken from their forthcoming album ‘O Come Forth Annihilation’, slated for release on 6th November.“Our aim with Death Of A Toolmaker was to construct the heaviest, most relentless, and unforgiving track we’ve written to date.
Lyrically, I wrote about the rhetorical tactics politicians use in order to gain access to power under the guise of being a “man of the people”, only to immediately enact repugnantly cruel domestic and foreign policy at the whims of the billionaire class.” – Abi Vasquez [vocals]
Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, Underdark has forged a unique sonic identity that blends elements of black metal, post-rock, and post-hardcore. Their music is characterized by ethereal melodies, atmospheric textures, and intense, emotive vocals. Their music transports listeners through a range of emotions, from hauntingly beautiful passages to moments of intense catharsis. Their ability to seamlessly combine the ferocity of black metal with the expansiveness of post-rock sets them apart in the modern music landscape.
