Bertrand Marchal I have for a long time delayed the purchase, so impenetrable this album sounded. Amidst the suffocating mass of hellish Doom, I was left disoriented and puzzled: some of the darkest corners of this album were urging me to search for light. And then the magic works, by sheer dint of faith: I knew this band was subtle enough to hide its talent and there it was, shimmering through the folds of the darkness. Brilliant, in fact.

J.E. Suarez Bought this album after a couple listens already knowing it was fire. After a year of listening to it on repeat, I think it's the best fucking metal album of the fucking decade. This band gets called funeral doom but, while it does have f.d. elements, honestly it's much more exciting than that... It feels closer to the dark cosmic psychedelia of a band like Malthusian or Antediluvian-- dense, swirling, and unremittingly dark. Favorite track: Obsidian Bulwark (Creation Of The Absurd).

Deadpanist This is the ultimate funeral doom album. This is what it sounds like, the apex and the point-of-no-return where all others shall be judged by.

about

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.

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 of a dreadful nature which find cohesion for a rich and thick sound that manifests into a visionary descent though multi-layered guitars, skullcrushing low tuned chords and sepulchral tremolos filtered through analog sounds for wider landscapes marred with obsessive drumming and infernal growls. An atmospheric, violent and noisey ritualistic experience.
