Endonomos is the brainchild of Austrian multiinstrumentalist, producer and session musician Lukas Haidinger, who was mostly known for playing extreme metal in bands such as Profanity, Nervecell, Distaste and many more, but as a longtime ‘doomer’, he has finally brought his sinister yet melodic sound to tape. What started as a one man’s urge to craft menacing yet epic death / doom ‘funeral’ metal, turned into a full group of dedicated musicians in 2021 with their debutalbum, ‘Endonomos’ (2022), as a result. Along with some of his closest friends, namely Armin Schweiger (drums), Philipp Forster (guitars) and Christoph Steinlechner (guitars), Endonomos now releases sophomore album, ‘Enlightenment’, recorded, mixed and mastered by Haidinger in his DeepDeepPressure Studios. Fans of acts such as Ahab, Evoken, Mournful Congregation, Katatonia, My Dying Bride, Candlemass, Swallow The Sun and Paradise Lost should take notice, as Endonomos once again unleashes a fierce blend of sinister, epic, melodic and menacing doom / death ‘funeral’ metal; low and cavernous grunt-vocals are continually breached by captivating clean vocals, combined with thick riffs, highly melodic lead guitars and, from time to time, also fragile parts, with uncanny chord progressions. The track ‘Hostile’ features guest vocals by Daniel Droste (Ahab, ex-Midnattsol).
