Austria · Darkness Shall Rise Productions
Fessus were formed in early 2023 in Vienna Austria. Since their formation the band has channelled the decay and despair emanating from the putrid depths of the Austrian capital. With mid-tempo old school riffing and decidedly morbid and nihilist lyrics, the band creates a rotten soundscape of oppressive misery and gloom. Just a few months after forming, Fessus recorded their debut demo ´Pilgrims of Morbidity´ on a stifling summer weekend in a dilapidated jam room-cum-studio not all too far from the of the heart of the city. This proved to be the perfect grotto for Fessus to lay down their debut release. Like any good death metal band, Fessus first released the demo themselves on self-dubbed tapes and home-printed artwork. It wasn’t long however before the foul (de)compositions started attracting attention, including by cult label Darkness Shall Rise which has since re-released the demo on tape and CD. The band feel that their decrepit musical offerings are best experienced live, so join them on a forlorn pilgrimage into the dank corridors of morbidity.
