Very small sample to go off but it sounds promising at least. Are the band based in Ireland?
Yeah! It's a short clip, but definitely sounds like a step up from the previous release.
Looking forward to hearing the full album.
Yes, based in Dublin.
Music video premiering now over at Sleeping Village (https://www.sleepingvillagereviews.com/reviews--premieres/fos-badai-na-scadan-music-video-premiere).
Really good stuff. The music on its own is well crafted, Neurosis style sludge/doom but with its own character. The use of delicate sean-nós style singing on top isn't always perfectly seamless, but I think it is very effective regardless. The looseness between both styles is alright with me. Nice video as well.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.
Pretty much the same sentiment as Andy.
Sean-Nós works great in parts and melds well, but a little off kilter in others. But sean-nós is a bit off kilter to begin with anyway, sure.
Regardless!
LP ordered. :abbath:

Thanks a lot. Big thanks to Shauny Cads for the mix and master.
Vinyl can be pre-ordered here (https://fosmetal.bandcamp.com/album/n-l-mo-chro-in-aon-rud).
Second song is a real grower. Seems a little shaky at the start, a bit loose time wise, but it builds really nicely. There's something vaguely familiar about the vocal melodies... I can't place it, but I like it.
The album cover would make Gjendød think twice, though :laugh:

Everything is Noise (https://everythingisnoise.net/reviews/fos-nil-mo-chroi-aon-rud/): "A soaring blend of ancient Irish folk traditions with contemporary heavy aesthetics, Fós' debut album offers an interesting take on the post-doom, ambient and folk metal genres."

Thanks so much! I don't listen to a lot of death metal but I really liked your latest EP.
