Aiwass, the Aleister Crowley-obsessed Psychedelic Doom project out of the American Southwest, has stretched beyond the soul-shaking soundscapes of its highly revered debut album “Wayward Gods” to deliver “The Falling,” a genre-bending experience with towering riffs, heart-wrenching melodies, layered instrumentation, and meticulous attention to detail through King Volume Records on October 13, 2023.
The band revealed the official video for the track “Prometheus,” watch it through the YouTube player below:
“The Falling” demonstrates marked growth in the Aiwass sound—a sonic tapestry that was already complex and mature enough to push 2021’s “Wayward Gods” to No. 11 on the Doom Charts upon release. In “The Falling,” Aiwass reaches further outside the Psychedelic Doom template to incorporate influences from classical music, black metal, country, and other genres. “When I started The Falling,” Aiwass founder and solo musician Blake Carrera says, “I felt like doom was getting played out. I didn’t want to be another copycat. I wanted to be me. As a result, this album is much more exploratory and experimental.”
