Falun, Sweden based Psychedelic Doom/Stoner/Sludge band Dröög released the second single “Gnista” taken from their upcoming full-length album “Det stora oväsendet,” set to release later this year via Majestic Mountain Records. Purchase and Stream the track on Bandcamp:
“The spark that might lighten the most basic instincts you have. But that same spark might also awaken something much deeper and darker within you.”
Majestic Mountain Records states: “Another stacked Friday coming at you from MMR, and we’ve got two rad singles plus a presale to heave kicking and screaming your direction!
One of the two new releases comes from our doomy forest-jazz masters Dröög!
The second single from their upcoming release, »Gnista« flickers to life, lowers the tempo and raises the volume, continuing the darkness with their gloomy grooves from the ancient forests of Dalarna! Let the creeping dread in, the boys are bringing more of their lurid legend and fetid folklore from the darkest parts of history. Dröög’s deeply doomy, metallic grandeur abounds once again, but to chilling new heights!
Thanks for reading, and keeping those ears out, Majestic people. We hope you’re having a stellar week!”
Through a dynamically orchestrated amalgamation of melodically mysterious and cinematically framed composition, Dröög tells a soulfully gripping, hook rich and riff driven, Bluesy, Stoner Doom adjacent yet exploratorily Progressive story from the darkest parts of history taking you on a journey where magic, revenge and the lusts of the flesh go hand in hand. While exploring truths and tales that have been told for generations, some just as relevant today as they were eons ago, Dröög roams through the eras and ages like chapters in history- sometimes light yet equally celebratory in their profound shadow. Lore and truth intertwine, and fairy tales emerge- allegory both manmade and nature that touched every living soul, rich and poor from every walk of life. One thing these stories have common is that they want to be retold and Dröög are the vehicle through which these tales come to life.
As a foundation Dröög started with Lola as a one-man band. A band to be able to perform chord progressions, rhythms, and lyrics without necessarily following the flow but without becoming Progressive. “Write music, completely without reservation.”
Dröög quickly expanded into a duo, now with a singer, just to be able to justify the vocal melodies as an additional and soulful instrument in itself. The album was then recorded as a duo but today they have a full crew to be able to deliver the music live as well.
