BIOGRAPHY
Neuropa Records is proud to announce the release of “I”, the debut album of Scotland’s Fuath (Fuath means "hatred" in Gaelic), a new black metal project created by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andy Marshall, better known as the mastermind behind Celtic black metal act Saor.
Unlike Saor, which finds Marshall focusing mostly on a folky and epic black-metal, here the musician delves into a darker and more melancholic side of black metal, marrying fierce and harsh riffs, unrelenting double-kick drums and raspy screams with melancholic melodies and hypnotic, gloomy ambiences.
“I” is wonderfully diverse in structure, featuring various tempos and superb ambiences that shift between intense, grim moments and more thoughtful, melancholic passages.
“I am a massive fan of hypnotic atmospheric black metal, especially early 90's stuff like Burzum's "Hvis lyset tar oss", early Darkthrone and also modern bands such as Paysage d'Hiver and Vemod” explains Marshall about the musical influences behind Fuath. I wanted to create a cold, hypnotic and melancholic black metal album which tried to capture the feelings I felt listening to these bands. I always come back to these bands when winter comes along and I feel their sounds are perfect for this time of year, almost kind of spiritual in a way.” - Andy Marshall
Mixed and mastered by Spenser Morris (spensermorrisaudio@gmail.com), Artwork by Luciana Nedelea (www.facebook.com/LucianaNedeleaArt).“I” was released on February 1st on CD via Neuropa Records. An LP edition has been planned as well and will be announced at a later date.
"Fuath is perfect for the colder months where you want to wrap yourself in warmth in front of a crackling fire and imagine trudging through the forest. “I” is an excellent adventure, one that conjures an icy environment that pelts you with power and emotion. It’s another riveting step in Marshall’s creative path, one that will warm the heart if the cold air and snow ever decided to arrive in full."
