Labyrinthine

A pioneering example of what the band terms 'Fairy Doom,' this sophomore effort from the Los Angeles-based trio Faetooth masterfully blends crushing riffs with ethereal vocal harmonies. 'Labyrinthine' explores mythological themes through a sonic landscape that is equally indebted to 90s shoegaze and traditional doom metal. The production emphasizes a massive, wall-of-sound aesthetic that contrasts starkly with the band's delicate, introspective lyricism.
