Glasgow’s rising doomgaze band, Cwfen release debut single ‘Reliks’
31st October 2024 0 By Jon DeauxGlasgow’s rising doomgaze band, Cwfen (‘coven’), today release their highly anticipated debut single Reliks. Following a whirlwind first year – including a performance at Core Festival and a feature in Kerrang’s Bands to Watch for 2024 – Reliks marks the band’s major entrance into the heavy music scene.
After building a dedicated local following through raw, atmospheric demos and captivating live shows, Reliks serves as Cwfen’s mission statement. The track delves into the collapse of long-held beliefs when confronted with mortality – a powerful, existential reflection wrapped in the band’s signature blend of doom, goth and post-metal influences.https://lnk.to/RUq26i
“At its heart, Reliks is about facing your final moments, when everything you thought you knew starts to unravel,” says Agnes Alder, vocalist and lyricist for the band. “It’s not about faith, but about the reality that all your ideas and beliefs might not hold up forever”.
Musically, Reliks embodies Cwfen’s unique sound – dark, heavy, and emotionally charged. The song weaves haunting melodies, raw riffs, and dynamic vocals that alternate between ethereal and intense.
The haunting refrain “Parts that are left of me” reflects the song’s theme of fragmentation – both physically and emotionally – as life breaks apart in the face of death. The shift between the main melody and the guttural intensity of the vocals underscore the tension between fear and acceptance.
“Releasing it on Samhain felt important. It’s a date about transition and reflection, mirroring what Reliks is trying to express. It’s about confronting the inevitability of change and our very human responses to it.”
Cwfen are:
Agnes Alder (vocals/guitar)
Guy Du Nuit (guitars)
Rös Ranquinn (drums)
Mary Thomas Baker (bass)
