We’re proud to announce our partnership with Italian Funeral/Death-Doom Behemoths Fuoco Fatuo via the release of “Backwater & Obsidian Katabasis” , an exclusive limited edition casette tape boxset of the band’s two most recent full-length albums: 2017's "Backwater" and the recent 2021 third album "Obsidian Katabasis", both issued on LP/Cd/digital formats by Profound Lore Records. With this exclusively crafted release officially licensed from Profound Lore both albums finally see the light for the first time ever on cassette format.
“Backwater & Obsidian Katabasis” is available now limited to 200 units worldwide, and comes as a black matte cardboard box flooded black inside with band logo and title hot foil stamped on the lid, and SR emblem hot foil stamped on the bottom. Cassettes inside come in clear cases with full-color j-cards, metallic ink shell prints, and download cards.
Italy’s Fuoco Fatuo are an elusive entity in European extreme metal, creators of an aphotic and otherworldly strain of hallucinatory and ultra-suffocating funeral doom that has few equals around. Over the last few years both of these pachydermic albums have set a new standard of extremism and opened the gates to a completely unexplored realm of heaviness and sonic oppression that has established Fuoco Fatuo as one of the most cataclysmic and inhumanly crushing bands to have emerged in the European extreme metal underground in recent years.
Officially released on September 24 2021“Backwater & Obsidian Katabasis” is available now worldwide from Sentient Ruin and can be purchased on our webshop and Bandcamp (Americas), from the band (Europe), via Profound Lore Records (Canada) or from all our distribution partners on both sides of the Atlantic.
