Dutch Doomers ONHOU Pack Mean Wallop in Sinister Music Video “Dire”

~Doomed & Stoned Debuts~

Holy hell, this is sick! If ONHOU is an unfamiliar name to you, sure it will be no longer after you've taken in the demonic new music video from the doomed Dutch sludge-wielders. "Dire" is a well-honed nine-and-a-half-minute sucker punch that will leave you winded, yet wishing for more. It's pure, venomous rage that will give you nightmares before ultimately freeing you from all fear through its cathartic cleansing. “Dire tells the story of demise hidden behind false gods and meaningless worship," the band explains. "In the end, only death awaits." That's about as deliriously nihilistic as you could hope for.

Onhou, now venturing on its fourth year as a band, draws its talent from the likes of Killteam, Lords of Gravity, Wolvon, Grinding Halt, and Ortega. Tucked away in Groningen, Netherlands, Onhou "embodies their northern heritage by mixing desolate sludgy Doom riffs with miserable Post-metal atmospheres, embracing the sinister history of the soil that made them."

The four-member crew of Alex (guitar, vox), Florian (keyboard, vox), Henk (bass), and Arnold (drums) are in top form on 'Endling' (2019). Quite frankly, the record scared the ever loving stuffing out of me as I let its tsunami of terror wash over me. The three-track record clocks in at nearly 40 minutes, just to give you an idea of how hefty this spin is. One of my favorites of the season, if not the year, with plenty of meat in these longform compositions to reward your repeated listens. Releasing November 30th on a limited run of 100 white vinyl via Lay Bare Recordings (pre-order here). For fans of Herder, Crowbar, Space Witch, and Indy's Conjurer.

Give ear...

Some Buzz

From the murky peatlands of North East Netherlands we present ONHOU. Out of the smoke of this burning decayed vegetation arises an uneasy beast of haunting bleakness. Meandering through dark territories with pulsating down-tuned guitars, electronics and dual vocals, they created Endling. We can assure you, this record may sound like the last of its kind but it’s alive and kicking. Another gem laid bare to hunt you down in the coming months and to fulfill all your nightmares.

Onhou is a Dutch sludge/doom metal band formed in Groningen, 2016. After a well received EP released by Tartarus records in early 2018 Onhou returned to the studio to record their first full-length. Transitioned into a four piece the band managed to create a bigger sound, exploring darker territories. With two vocalists, electronic elements and heavy, down tuned guitars Onhou enshrines a form of riff worship.

With 'Endling' (2019). Onhou is expanding on the hopelessness of their sound, fighting against the inevitable.One can try to find reason or a safe haven, try going to war with all of your might while it burns the heart out of you. But one will only find loss, not a single trace of one’s existence. There is no legacy. There will be no judgment. 'Endling' will find you dragged into discomfort with Onhou’s negative riffs, dark electronics and pulsating rhythms.
