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.

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:

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:

The digital and vinyl editions of Níl mo chroí in aon rud are now on discount for Bandcamp Friday, and also the cassette edition of Rinne mé iarraidh.


Angry Metal Guy: "...there is a somber beauty and resonance to much of the material here, that leaves me with a deep sense of longing and loss after each spin... Fós have done exactly what I hoped they would."

Everything is Noise: "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."

Nine Circles: "There really is no other band out there anything like Fós. You owe it to yourself to experience what they are all about... There is a wistful, blissfully homesick feeling that Níl mo chroí in aon rud fills me with that can't be replicated by anything else."
