Norway's Furze have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a psychedelic mixture of black and doom metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Stimulation Of Dark Fantasies" which will be released in November as a joint effort between Devoted Art Propaganda and Polytriad Fingerprints.
Clean playing starts off the album before introducing psychedelic style soundscapes which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the recording and most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also bring in more of an old school style along with some keyboards also being utilized at times, when the music finally speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the songs more of a raw feeling along with the album also having its experimental moments. Clear singing and spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of tracks as well as most of the music sticking to either a slow or mid tempo direction, the closing song is also an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover cosmic exploration of the dead, existential dread and the allure of the forbidden.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Furze and if you are a fan of psychedelic black and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beautiful Living On The Left Hand Of Death" and "Marrow Creed". 8 out of 10.
