Soliloquium – Famine – Album Review

Soliloquium – Famine – Album Review

13th April 2025 0 By Jon Deaux

Misery’s the one thing we’ve got in endless supply. Swedish doom-death crew Soliloquium knows it and dives straight in with Famine—no warm-up, no mercy.

I found them while doom-scrolling Bandcamp at 3 AM, wide awake and half-feral. The algorithm must’ve caught wind of my existential drift and said, “You want bleak? Here’s bleak.”

From the first note, the guitars crash in like a landslide, slow, crushing, and inescapable. No flash, no filler. Just grief, drawn out and drop-tuned.

But just when you settle into the gloom, Famine cuts in with a haunting melody—brief, flickering moments of beauty before dragging you back under. Like catching your breath before another wave hits.

Lyrically, it’s a gut punch. Isolation, decay, spiritual rot—each track sounds like it was written in a room with no windows and no hope.

Is Famine for everyone? Hell no. If you need a pick-me-up, run. But if you’re staring down the void and want something to stare back, Soliloquium’s got you covered. Pour a drink and hit play, then let it hurt.
