FAUSTCOVEN picture
Faustcoven is a Black/Doom Metal band from Norway, started in 2002 by sole member Gunnar Hansen (with Johnny Tombthrasher, and Terje Kraaboel having contributed live drums in the studio). The sound of Faustcoven however, is far removed from what one usually expects from Norwegian Black Metal, being mainly inspired by the first wave of Black Metal, trad./proto Doom and classic Heavy Metal of all shapes. The production is bassy and heavy not the usual trebly & thin B.M.-production, the riffs groovy and midpaced instead of tremolo raping two note melodies, and no blastbeats are to be seen for miles around. Instead of frozen forests and evil elves, the atmosphere of Faustcoven invokes horror and DOOM. Oh yeah, and; No corpsepaint! Neither is Faustcoven a Funeral Doom band in disguise, the riffs are more dynamic, trying to follow the lead of Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Hellhammer/Celtic Frost rather than the more read more...

Warthur
Faustcoven play an interesting mixture of doom metal and black metal, with some death metal elements creeping in here and there (for instance, the vocals seem to be halfway between a black metal screech and a death metal grunt). Overall, I'd call the mixture a sort of blackened doom metal - the slow tempos and deep, heavy riffs mean that doom metal song structures and playing tend to rule the day, but the black metal aesthetic makes this a decidedly different prospect from your average Sabbath-worshipping retro-doom outfit. Interesting, but the lo-fi approach can be wearing and, whilst aesthetically appropriate, one does suspect it's partially here to cover for the thinness of the material.
