On September seventh, Pilgrims of Doom dropped their eponymous LP, and with it, the self-titled single, Pilgrims of Doom, which fuses onerous rock with doom metallic whereas reviving the arcane aura of 70s amplification by way of the modernity of AI augmentation.
It’s a daring flex from the Milan-based creator, who took a sonic danger by marrying reverence for doom’s ritualistic custom with experimental studio innovation, however the gamble pays off with a symphonically laced, intensely atmospheric anthem that hits with prophetic weight. The riffs lumber and rise like smoke from an iron altar, the rhythm part grinds with ritualistic momentum, and the vocals carry the sort of haunted command that drags you willingly into the void. If that is the way forward for doom, we would haven’t any selection however to bow to it.
Behind the undertaking is Federico Zimbaldi, often called Nevralgia Digitale, who has constructed an unbiased digital label on Bandcamp to discover the collision of AI and human emotion. Via initiatives akin to Hammered Wizard and Hexepunk, Zimbaldi has formed sonic narratives that drift between eras and dimensions, telling tales too heavy to remain earthbound. Pilgrims of Doom is his newest and maybe most towering creation, and it alerts that that is the evolution we’ve been ready for.
Pilgrims of Doom is now out there on all main streaming platforms; assist the artist by buying their LP on Bandcamp.
