Spawning from Los Angeles, Faetooth forges “Fairy-Doom”: an eclectic amalgamation of Doom Metal, Sludge, and shoegaze. From spellbinding melodies to guttural shrieks, Faetooth’s music conjures a looming atmosphere offering you a glimpse into their mystifying realm. Having recently released the ferociously beautiful track “Death of Day,” sound, Faetooth returns with their sophomore album, “Labyrinthine.”
Labyrinthine is a visceral, haunting, disturbing vision filled with introspection. Enter through the “Iron Gate” — the garden, the light, the void, the body. This is exemplified by their new track, “White Noise,” out today. “White Noise” emerged from a diary entry, and is a relentless and intense reflection on inner turmoil. We’re often drawn to the familiar, even when we don’t realize we’re reaching out for it. It is an emotional upheaval, carrying harsh truths that weigh heavily on the heart. Guitarist, Ari May mentions, “Performing the song always takes me back to a specific place, even if just for a moment.”

From profoundly intimate to explosively cathartic moments — Faetooth’s latest offering features their distinctive blend of ethereal clean and roaring harsh vocals, fuzzy guitars, and pounding rhythms. Coming off of 2022’s “Remnants of the Vessel,” the trio continues to explore sounds ranging from gliding to grinding, from the rhythmic grunge of “Death of Day,” to the bittersweet melodies of “October.” While embracing a newly softened, more intimate tone, Faetooth releases even more emotional rawness. Themes of loss, self-pity, personal relationships, and more find a focus in singles like “Hole,” and “White Noise.” This new intimate balance doesn’t dilute their palpable intensity; rather reframing it, offering listeners a haunting yet delicate atmosphere layered with entrancing textures that build up into eruptive climaxes.
Like the ancient myth of the minotaur in the labyrinth, at its core, “Labyrinthine” is a deeply personal, shrouded, monster of an album; It is a winding, toilful, maze to a tender center not quite prevalent yet in Faetooth’s mystical and metaphorical universe.
