Seer of the Void Bows Down to the "Electric Father" (Early Track Stream + Video)
For Seer of the Void, less is more, as long as that ‘less’ is also loud as shit. The Greek doomsters only need a handful of riffs on new single “Electric Father” to craft a sinister, groovy jam, but each riff is dialed in for maximum impact and volume. Their upcoming album Mantra Monolith clearly lives up to its name in terms of stature, achieved here through soulfully-played heaviness. Check out the video for “Electric Father” below.

A brief blast of crackling flame is all that stands between listeners and the riffs here, and I have to say that the production and gear choices make all the difference in the band’s near-minimalistic pursuit of fuzz supremacy. Overlapping guitar layers condense into a pleasingly thick sound with just enough sharpness to keep up with the tight rhythm section, and that snare drum crack is straight out of 1990s doom hall-of-fame territory. It’s not a song that needs to go fast: just hearing each part of the mix ring out is satisfying throughout.
The band comments:
Electric Father is a song inspired by the dualities. By the fight between the light and the dark, between the good and the bad. Questioning every type of norm that guides the modern way of life and how this reflects to the subconscious of the human nature.
