Neo-Psychedelic Doom / Amsterdam

Bio

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.

Blev Lavoux: vocals, violin

Lyrics

Bad Winter

Gifts of the East Hot flowers of the unfree, holy Ice for the priest, ruined like an Afternoon. Barons bang on the door of my supposed Piece of sand, sand-colored World they sold. Gaze in horror As they force Velvet gloves On my paws. Living and partly living Turn the spit And call it peace Break like glass Disconnect Show me how nice the night can be In one breath Break my world in half Utter my request to Take it back Gifts of the West Tree that I bled rooted a lure that Pulls me to your ribs. In the short, cold night I'm your jack. Stars shine on my blight Shine on my blight Shine on my blight Do you have a light? Living and partly living Turn the spit So call it peace Sing high, cry low Same why And call it peace Velvet gloves On my paws Living and partly living
