about

One of Singapore’s newest upstarts comes in the form of an instrumental Doom duo ӨПƧΣƬ with the group’s upcoming EP entitled “Unstructured Dissemination”, to be released on CD version under Japanese seminal Doom label Weird Truth Productions sometime in the Fall of 2018.

Formed in late 2016, to simply pigeonhole ӨПƧΣƬ as a Doom band would just be scratching the surface; the influences brought forward to the band are extremely diverse, with an almost no-holds-barred attitude and seeping in emotive passages surging into Post-Rock territory while still staying remotely under the radar of the Doom genre itself. The tempo, the vibe, the feeling of melancholy and dread.

The “Unstructured Dissemination” EP showcases two imposing tracks clocking at over 25 minutes in length, as well as an undaunting attempt to record them in a completely live and rehearsal-like environment. Another very integral part of the ӨПƧΣƬ sound comes from the collaborative effort of Synthwave artist Microchip Terror, who provided a very cinematic approach amongst the wash of fuzzed-out guitars and wall of drums, thus giving the entire EP an incredible spectrum of soundscape. Also featuring Mirai Kawashima from Sigh on additional keys / synth on both the intro and outro tracks.



* [Review quotes & ratings] *

“The Singaporean duo of ӨПƧΣƬ bring a deep emphasis on atmosphere to their music, threading in each development and additional element with careful deliberation. The basis is one of doom, leaning towards funereal emotionality but bringing enough hard edge in its twists to keep from sinking into navel-gazing introversion. There's some death metal flavoring at times, some post-metal, traces of symphonic majesty, and other flavors besides, all managed by the band with exceptional form in light of the EP's allegedly live recording.” - The Burning Beard

“With elements from traditional doom, post rock, space rock and extreme metal, Onset delivers something both immersive and unsettling. The riff-heavy approach of funeral doom meets with the soul piercing experimentality of noise to create two epic pieces of dark and heavy music. This is definitely not an easy EP to listen to but it a unique and refreshing entity in the world of doom, which imply means it's awesome.” - Merchants Of Air

“The thick riffs of "Pestis: The Suppressing & Recurrence" give way to moments in which the melodies take center stage. We are before a band that has a doom vocation, but that does not deny atmospheric moments that are guarded by stout riffs. A dense nebulae that are invaded by attractive guitar passages that are gradually diluted in the dense haze generated. This is where the instants appear in which the post-metal takes center stage without...  more

about

O n s e t Singapore

Originally formed in late 2016, ӨПƧΣƬ was developed with a mutual adoration for all things slow and crushingly heavy while primarily functioning as a two-man unit.

Recorded in a completely live environment with minimal overdubs, the two songs also proved to be a test of endurance and focus during the recording session; with a total running time of over 25 minutes on the EP.
