Fuoco Fatuo ( Italian Narrenfeuer, aka Irrlicht ) is a death and funeral doom band founded in 2011 .

history

The band Fuoco Fatuo, initially intended as a sludge and death doom project, was founded in 2011 in Varese . For the band's first releases, two self-published EPs , the group consisted of guitarist and singer Milo Angeloni, bassist Giovanni Piazza and drummer Fabrizio Moalli. Even the EPs received some positive reviews, but the band gained wide international attention with their debut album The Viper Slithers in the Ashes of What Remains . The album, released in 2014 via Tyrant Records , was praised for Metal.de as “an impressive Doom Metal experience” and for Cvlt Nation as one of the best Death Doom albums of the year . Three years after the debut, the band released the second studio album in cooperation with the Canadian label Profound Lore Records . This album, titled Backwater , was named one of the best albums of 2017 by Cvlt Nation and was highly praised in other international reviews, including again from Metal.de and Vice . In the meantime Davide Bacchetta had taken over the role of drummer. Together the band made international appearances, including at the renowned Roadburn Festival .

style

The music played by Fuoco Fatuo developed from the initial Death Doom with borrowings from the Sludge increasingly to Funeral Doom. While "references to relevant bands of (occult) Old School Death Metal " were still perceived, on Backwater these had noticeably faded into the background and given way to an effort to create an atmosphere of emptiness. Not much happens in the music, said Eckart Maronde about The Viper Slithers in the Ashes of What Remains for Metal.de, “for example, the guitar mostly scratches with sluggish fingerboard shifts. With the extremely slow and drawn-out passages and breaks, the listener always remains in suspense as to which beat or which drumfill the drummer is going to play next. ”The music is based on the simple principles of Death Doom and Funeral Doom. Guttural growling , a guitar game dubbed “colossal riff walls ” and a drum game perceived as “urgent”. The music is described as heavy and gloomy, which is particularly noticeable "through the interplay of the grunt, the guitars and the muffled bass".

"The Italians also manage to keep the listener hooked for the entire season - through an attractive tempo [...], annoying riffing [...] or simple drum effects, such as single hits on the ride cymbal [.]"
