Farer: Grim and brutal cycle of creation and destruction…..

Tweet

Hailing from the Netherlands, doom/noise trio Farer conspire with Tartarus Records and Aesthetic Death to release Monad, the band’s first album, on November 20th 2020. The video for Phanes is a sprawling tryptic; A moving abstract brutalist painting showing corruption, atrophy and passing. It showcases an intricate relationship between creation and destruction, in which unnatural parasitic structures come into the inevitable collision with the sublunary.

Farer create an imposing discord of severe, caustic bass textures, harrowing vocals and winding drums. The band, featuring members of Ortega, was originally founded as Menhir in 2013, but chose Farer as their new moniker mid-2019, after spending two and a half years of writing and recording their debut record Monad. By taking time to further explore the possibilities of being a band with two bass players and the absence of a guitar, the record exhibits the bands evolution into a new entity thoroughly. Meaning, carefully crafted, drawn-out, oppressive and compelling songs.

Traversing the absolute – Monad is a testament to suffering. Heavy grinding riffs and deep pulsating rhythms; a restless stirring. Amidst all these layers we hear the human voice as a primal wordless scream – the shock of being. We feel the dissonance of forces vying for existence and the harmony of lightless oblivion. Whispers of unfathomable truths emerge from the static.

Out of nothing, nothing becomes.

Monad tracklist:

01. Phanes

02. Asulon

03. Moros

04. Elpis

Farer is: Frank De Boer with bass and vocals and Sven Jurgens  with drums and percussion. Farer presents a tactile experience of the grim and brutal cycle of creation and destruction. There is desperation and anger, but above all a greater comprehension of the eternal patterns reverberating through flesh. The relentless driving layers of crushed sound offer no respite. In resonance is the movement of great mass. Brutally honest and raw. Complex and utterly bleak. A confrontation with the void.
