Foetorem “Demo’25”

Year: 2025

On these cold days of February, I suppose the reason I keep coming across bands that reflect this cold, dark, and depressive atmosphere is because we are all under its influence. Foetorem is yet another new and dark band. They can be considered part of Denmark’s recent wave of dark, death-themed, existentially tormented doomy death metal.

This three-track demo is dominated by the legacy of old European doom-death metal, adorned with old-school brutal vocals, slow doom riffs, and classic darkened death metal riffs and drumming. The entire demo is steeped in a mix of new and old-school darkened death metal sound, with each track supported by doomy riffs and tempo changes.

I am eagerly anticipating their first full-length album. Fans of modern European-style darkened death metal and old-school doom-death metal should check this band immediately.
