On January 25th, 2024 internationally, Void Wanderer Productions, in conspiracy with War Productions, is proud to present Stuporous' striking debut album, Asylum's Lament.
Stuporous is a Dutch/Belgian black-doom band with members from the infamous Zwotte Kring collective. With a history in black metal going back to the '90’s, and a deep interest in doom metal, the idea for Stuporous was born.
Stuporous is the brainchild of Floris Velthuis, who had previously flirted with blackened doom with his non-orthodox black metal band Meslamtaea. Trumpeter Izzy Op de Beeck, who’s also part of Meslamtaea, plays in various jazz-noir projects. Doom, therefore, is familiar territory to him, and he adds a special dark jazz vibe to the music. With singer Devi, who works in psychiatry, the formation is complete.
Stuporous' lyrics are about mental disorders and depression, based on true events in the psychiatric facility. Devi’s vocals, at times schizophrenic, are making the listener identify with the suffering persons that the music is about. Traditional grunts and screams are interspersed with clean vocals.
The band's first public recording, Asylum's Lament sounds heavy, nostalgic, and melancholic - dreamlike, but not a pleasant dream, as the listener is drowning into a mental nightmare maelstrom...
First track premiere to be announced shortly. Preorder info can be found HERE. Cover artwork, courtesy of Gordiart, and tracklisting are as follows:
