Neo-Psychedelic Doom / Amsterdam
Neo-psychedelic doom outfit Hidden Since the Foundation of the World emerged from occlusion in 2025 CE to bring their distinctive take on low 'n' slow fuzz to the cobbled streets of Amsterdam and beyond. Rumbling and chaotic but usually also tuneful despite their efforts, in addition to the traditional instrumentation and [mostly] clean vocals, this 4-piece features electric violin and enough fx, loopers, and feedback to simulate a small orchestra.
Stylistically they veer from early Sabbath to spaced-out noise, funeral doom, and ham-fisted sludge. Their first 2 singles, 'Man of Stated Age' and 'Bad Winter,' reached Bandcamp and streaming services in October of that year, followed in November by a live cover of the Cure's 'The Hanging Garden' that makes the original sound positively chipper.
They have a collection of remixes/collaborations in progress with Megaton Leviathan, Buzzard, Prophets of Thwaites, and more due in April 2026; with plans to record a full-length album in the Spring.
