Furze is a Norwegian Black Doom band from Trondheim .

history

The band was formed in November 1992 under the name Cursed. In 1996 the project was briefly called Woe J. Reaper, but was dissolved again in 1997. In October 1998 the band was re-founded by Woe J. Reaper under its current name Furze. At that time, Reaper, as he called himself from now on, moved to a lonely forest for three and a half years. According to their own statements, this should bring new inspiration with it.

In the late 1990s, Furze released three demos and eventually signed a recording deal with the Norwegian record company Apocalyptic Empire Records. At this the first two albums and EPs were released. After the head of Apocalyptic Empire Records was locked in jail for a robbery on a post office and the label decided against expanding the distribution network, Furze switched to Candlelight Records . Among other things, the band's first two albums were re-released there.

In the meantime, another publication with the name Baphomet Wade was planned. However, this was rejected by Reaper.

The third album, referred to by the band as a "split album with yourself", was released in 2007. Kjetil-Vidar "Frost" Haraldstad ( Satyricon , 1349 ) played drums on two songs from this publication . A 2007 remastered version of the title Baphomet Wade , which was released on the demo Trident Black Metal Feast in 1999 , appeared in 2008 on the compilation The Wine of Satan: Volume II on the label Necroterror Records.

Style and ideology

Furze's music includes Black Sabbath's first six albums, Hellhammer , early and late Thorns recordings, Monumentum , Destruction , Morbid Angel (mainly the early works), individual 1970s albums and songs by King Crimson , Possessed , influenced the first six Bathory albums, Slayer , the first two Candlemass albums, Darkthrone (mainly the Peaceville releases), Vulcano , Celtic Frost and Mayhem . It has Doom Metal riffs and differs from traditional Nordic Black Metal, but Woe J. Reaper assigns it to Black Metal. Furze also combines classical and jazz influences with those from black metal.

The texts are written cryptically and atypically, so that they do not clearly result in an ideology. Woe J. Reaper uses his own word creation with "Zaredoo", which he explains as a kind of calculation. Woe J. Reaper expressed an interest in Satanism , emphasizing that he was not a follower of Anton Szandor LaVey . He also emphasized that the music was black metal, but couldn't have been if it was only about the death aspect.

Surname

The name is the English name for the gorse plant. Their fruits and branches are extremely poisonous for humans. Woe J. Reaper has commented on the name in many interviews, for him the plant represents a deadly scythe in a figurative sense. It also stands for quality, since another translation of the word means 'golden thorn'. Compared to the French Metalchroniques - Webzine , he referred to Furze as the name of the blade of the reaper's scythe . This has a microcosmic, a semi-eternal and an eternal aspect, and the band combines the first and third aspects, i.e. the mortal person and that which is external to them.
