German blackened post-metal outfit Druma has unleashed the second single, "First World", from its impending second album, Sores Of Our Time, due on 7 March via Moment of Collapse Records.
Druma's debut album, Dawning, showcased a talent for balancing slow-building tension with explosive climaxes peppered with hints of modern black metal influences. On Sores Of Our Time, Druma evolves that formula, infusing the album with richer detail and a more defined sense of direction. The production is pristine, capturing the raw power of its sound without sacrificing its emotional weight.
Lyrically and conceptually, the album plunges listeners into a bleak, apocalyptic vision, exploring themes of social struggle and global inequity. It's a world of despair, brought to life by the band's ability to alternate between ruthless aggression and melancholic reflection. Ruthless, gut-wrenching outbursts collide with moments of haunting atmosphere, creating a dynamic ebb and flow that keeps listeners enthralled.
Sores Of Our Time is a testament to Druma's growth, proving its ability to refine its craft and push its music into even darker and more resonant territory. It's a must-listen for those seeking heaviness with depth, and it cements Druma as a standout force in the post-metal and sludge scene. Link
