Firebreather
Dwell In The Fog (black)
Gothenburg, Sweden trio Firebreather's 2019 RidingEasy Records debut album 'Under A Blood Moon' was a powerhouse that most certainly established the band's incendiary potential. But none of us would be prepared for the suffocating onslaught that is 'Dwell In The Fog.' While that album was in-your-face and raw, 'Dwell In The Fog' rumbles and rages with a fury the band had only hinted at previously. Firebreather has a streamlined focus on driving, symphonic riffs in the vein of High On Fire, Inter Arma and their tour- and label-mates Monolord. The guitar and bass tones are, quite simply, entrancing. Paired with vocalist/guitarist Mattias Nööjd's guttural yet melodic howls and drummer Axel Wittbeck's groove based rhythms, their entire sound flows like thick, viscous lava.
