It’s Friday all right! Even Tasmania is enjoying Friday now… And next up we have a Friday Freebie brought to you courtesy of Octopus Rising, Argonauta Records, Red House Productions and Store and most importantly, brought to you by VAST PYRE! A November 2025 release that made the November Edition and also presented their earlier release as Friday Freebie for you all… Well, this is Act II and its BLEAK! And it’s like a slow-motion apocalypse, towering riffs, hallucinogenic haze, and tectonic grooves colliding in glorious excess. Each of the five tracks oozes grit, vision, and obsessive craft, turning doom into a mind-bending pilgrimage. VAST PYRE delivers a delirious, skull-rattling descent into grandeur…
Their own words:
“VAST PYRE return with II Bleak, a devastating plunge into oppressive doom heaviness that expands their signature monolithic sound into even darker, more immersive territory. Built on earth-shaking riffs, cavernous low-end pressure and ritualistic, slow-burning tension, the album drags the listener into a suffocating sonic void where every vibration feels seismic and every passage unfolds with unrelenting weight. Bleak fuses the crushing density of modern doom with hypnotic, psychedelic undercurrents, creating a sound that feels ancient, diseased and transcendent all at once, a relentless descent shaped by towering guitar walls, punishing drums and an atmosphere steeped in dread. This is doom at its bleakest and most uncompromising, engineered for listeners who crave immersive, body-shaking heaviness with a hallucinatory edge.”
FFO: Conan, Electric Wizard, Slomatics, Monolord.
