Formes to Release Dysphoria Part 2 this Summer

It’s not the most in-depth critique I’ve ever given, but this Formes track is hitting the spot. The West Yorkshire trio’s label, No Fun Intended, has tomorrow, March 18, listed as the release date for their first album, Dysphoria Part 1 (review here), but news and audio has already surfaced from the follow-up, Dysphoria Part 2, which has been given a Summer 2015 release. Nothing like working quickly.

But to get to the heart of the matter, Formes — the three-piece of guitarist/vocalist/bassist Steve McNamara, drummer/guitarist/growler Jordan McNamara and guitarist/synth-provider Rob “The Alchemist” Hemingway — push deep into their stylistic blend of psychedelic ritual exploration and crushing-but-stately metal with “Vessel,” the first track to appear from Dysphoria Part 2, alternately creating and bulldozing soundscapes while making disparate vibes cohesive across a 12-minute span. Their first album was ambitious in that regard and it doesn’t seem like Dysphoria Part 2 is going to let up either. All the better.

Formes – Dysphoria Part 2

‘Vessel’ is the new song from UK psych metal band Formes, taken from the upcoming album ‘Dysphoria Part 2’ which will be released in the summer. This is the eagerly awaited follow up to album ‘Dsyphoria Part 1’ which critics praised for its originality and diversity, receiving a plethora of positive reviews. The 12 minute slab of psych metal is the bands heaviest material to date, whilst also retaining the psych element they are known for. If Dysphoria Part 1 was Formes finding their feet, Part 2 sees them cementing their trademark sound.

The song is available to download upon purchase of the newly released CD version of ‘Dysphoria Part 1’, here:
