VAZUM - "Gallows"
Detroit based duo VAZUM are a self described deathgaze band. Deathgaze combines deathrock with shoegaze, and you can hear a prime example of that sound on their latest single. "Gallows" has all the darkness and doom of deathrock but the droning lushness of shoegaze. It's a style that clashes with itself creating a gorgeous yet unsettling sound. Plus, VAZUM bring a giant, cinematic feel to "Gallows." Despite not being overtly loud or noisy, the song just feels huge. (Some noise comes later in the song, so don't you worry about that!) It's a truly unique sound that combines enough existing elements to still feel familiar.
You can watch the video for "Gallows" below. The song is currently available for download via Bandcamp. For more on VAZUM, check out the band's Facebook and Twitter.
