Hailing from rain-soaked concrete forests of Vancouver, B.C., experimental drone metal band New Age Doom combines and contradicts its namesake genres to create a unique vision of extreme music.
Led by the core duo of drummer Eric J. Breitenbach and multi-instrumentalist Greg Valou, New Age Doom are set to release their sophomore album, Himalayan Dream Techno, this winter. It was an open-ended, organic and intuitive process between collaborators; one without plans or discussions. They are joined by Gregory Macdonald AKA “ColaWars” (Limblifter, Sloan) on analog synthesizer and Tim Lefebvre (Donny McCaslin, David Bowie’s Blackstar) on analog synthesizers and upright bass. The resulting record, dense with rolling percussion, lush synths and tube amplifier feedback, is a sonic dreamscape that bursts with serenity and chaos in equal measure.
