Shrooms Circle Sign to DHU Records for Asylum LP Release

shrooms circle

Swiss murk-doomers Shrooms Circle have signed to DHU Records to release their debut album, Asylum, on vinyl. Originally issued by the band in 2018, the album is a more than justifiable pickup, with swirling grim psychedelia and a pervasive melodic sensibility that feels born of the likes of Electric Wizard and Windhand will deigning to push deep into its own miseries from its 11-minute opening title-track onward, a slogging march there casting a suitably wretched pall over everything that follows, not that at any point throughout Shrooms Circle are exactly wanting for “wallow.” Spells are cast in dense tones and nodding riffs, a feeling of largesse only going to make them sound that much more overwhelming as they deliver slow-motion punishment throughout “Witches are There!” and the abysmal “Out from the Grave.”

They make a centerpiece of “The Druggist” — as one will — and the organ seems to come out more there and in the subsequent “A House Behind the Hills” than in some of the earlier rollers, as vocalist Odile weaves her voice around the riffs as though directing a tempest to her will. The speedier “Trapped” is suitably claustrophobic and bodes well for future growth in some later harmonies, and closer “The Island” taps into some of the most dirt-caked riffing Asylum has to offer, finishing with organ to lead the procession outward, a final dirge for the long-since dead. It’s not entirely unfamiliar in its overarching approach, but a cool listen nonetheless, especially as their first record.

All the better then that it should get the vinyl exposure from DHU. Not sure on an exact release date, but I know the label keeps busy, so I’d guess maybe Winter 2020? We’ll see. Don’t quote me on that.
