about

Death Shadow - 038

Debut full-length album from Gorsedd FM. Bombastically disregarding expectation and classification, The Promise of Rot shows the duo at their most aggressive, while still retaining the tender, natural sensibility that characterizes their style of folk-tinged post-punk. Written and recorded during the brutal winter before global lockdown, this album foreshadows much of the isolation, depression, and frustration which accompanied humanity as it trudged through the past year and change. Lyrically, The Promise of Rot is a songbook of tales about emotional abandonment, physical disrepair, and social malaise. Musically, the duo interprets the rustic dark rock introduced by acts from northern and eastern Europe through a distinctly American perspective, a cultural lens deftly calibrated by producer Sasha Stroud, who injects the duo’s sound with a fresh Atlantic air not flowing through the band’s more lo-fi offerings of the years passed. The final product is a forlorn thrust of misdirected energy and sincere sorrow, a tribute to the ease of ignorance and the pain of a purposeful existence.

Presented on LP by Death Shadow Records, cassette tape by Boul God, and CD by Esfinge de la Calavera.

De l'importance du titre ou Comment une juxtaposition de mots savamment choisis permettra à l'auditeur attentif de repérer chez Old Nick une transition vers un cadre spatio-temporel plus proche de l'ère victorienne gothique, confirmée par les clavecins et cuivres au synthé, mais aussi de parodier le contexte susmentionné, parodie amplifiée par un raw black metal chaotique : un essai au sujet de T.N.O.T.A.A.T.P.B.T.Q.A.S.F.A.B.O.O.T.D.O.S.S.T.T.E.V.H.S mené par Sir Jordan Vauvert en l'an 2024.

Venomous Sorcery Through Hidden Darkness
by GEHEIMNISVOLL

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Promise of Rot”

A rather soothing yet ominous intro lures the listener into a pit of raging, raw USBM. Harsh, cold and echoing vocals add to the diabolical atmosphere: this EP feels quite depressive, but the excellent melodic riffs actually put a smile on my face. As far as debut releases go: this is truly excellent. Bloedarend
