UK's doom bringers Famyne have released a new single and video "Solid Earth", as the final one before the release of their new album, II: The Ground Below, set for release on the 13th of May via Svart Records. 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 any shackles of genre constraints on their new album II: The Ground Below.
The band comments about the new single: "'Solid Earth' provides an insight into the mind of someone on the edge. It contains a series of riffs that have been with us for quite some time; therefore it was very satisfying to get to put them all together, for this second album. Alongside the skills of our producer Ian Sadler, it became massive, and way more epic than we'd first imagined. Doom for the people."
Since their inception in 2014, Famyne have been rapidly building an incendiary reputation for themselves, and an epic universe all of their own, magnetising more souls into the orbit of their unique expansion of masterful doom metal. From their Famyne EP in 2015, earning a place at Bloodstock Open Air 2016, to their breakout self-titled debut in 2018, Famyne have been constantly turning heads as a promising new light in the darkness.
The new album, II: 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 eight tablets of stone-carved ageless songs that II: 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.
