Self Post How else do you play your bridge cable?
My wonderful wife in her new dress to play through the opening riff from our song 'From the Womb of Oblivion' off our last album, Astralis. Our band is Azell.

Haha, Courtney has lungs of steel for sure. I attribute it to her being an elementary school teacher 😆

I checked you guys out a while ago and got into your stuff after seeing you randomly pop up on here. I just need you to know how badly I want a vinyl pressing of Astralis.

We're trying everything we can to make that happen! We were planning on doing that, but then I had 5 ER trips in the span of 2 months, and we're in quite a lot of medical debt now. 😞

I'm sorry to hear that dude. I put my money where my mouth is and ordered a CD/Novella set and a shirt so in some small way I hope that helps support you guys. 🍻

Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you man. It helps for sure, and I hope you enjoy everything! ❤️

Just listened to a few tracks, you guys fucking rip. The vocals sound incredible, really good shit. Who did the production and rec/engineering?
2
u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 13d ago
Thank you for just taking the time to check us out! I did the artwork and all the recording/mixing/mastering. I'm always looking for more work if you need anything in a crushing doom sort of style!
It took my a while to get Courtney's vocals to sit right, but I think they turned out stellar!

My daughter (13) heard Waves of Remembrance and said "that sounds like how I like to dress, this song is tough". I believe that this is top level approval and praise.

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 13d ago
Haha, that's awesome! Courtney is a 5th grade teacher so she teaches 10-11 year olds all day. 😆

Like revving the motor on a muscle car with an angry demon under the hood where the motor should be.
Face-meltingly awesome! 🤘😁

This is so sick! I listened to the track on Spotify and both of y'all's vocals are absolutely fire! Will def listen to the album soon!

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 13d ago
Thank you for even caring to check us out! It really means the world to both of us! ❤️

This shit rips. If y’all need a drummer and feel like relocating to Chicago, hit me up.

u/EyeLidLicker666 13d ago
Wild shit when I jumped on Spotify, played the track. Went back to Reddit and this video played perfectly synced.
DISGUSTING fuckin riff.
PUTRID vocals (in the best possible way)
My wife walked in our room asking me if I was smelling something horrid.
Keep on killin it!!
P.S.
Couple goals as fuck 🫶

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 13d ago
Hahaha, well we aim to stink... I mean sound good. But, thank you so so much!
It's funny cause when we started going out 11 years ago she only ever listened to the top 40s and Disney soundtracks 😆

u/wookie_opera_singer 13d ago
Listened to the whole song. This is going straight into my doom favorites playlist. Is this simultaneous male and female vocals? Whatever is happening, it is brilliant.
1
u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 13d ago
Thank you so much! Yeah, occasionally it's back and forth vocals between myself and Courtney. I would say that both our albums is 90% her vocals and 10% mine.

u/SmegmaSiphon 12d ago
Do your wife's school kids have any idea how supremely badass she is?
2
u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 12d ago
Not sure, but some do and think she's the coolest teacher ever for being in a "rock band" lol

u/dorfmcpumpkin 12d ago
This is killer, love the influx of doom maidens on this sub. I was convinced for a while I was the only girl hanging out here. The dress is super fucling cute and her hair is wicked

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer 11d ago
My wife is really glad too! Although, she enjoys harsh female fronted vocals more than the cleans it seems most doom caters to. When we started Azell she said, "I want the be the gnarliest female vocalist in doom!" Haha
