The Kerrang! Chart: The best new music this week
The ultimate new music countdown – every Friday!
Listen to the first proper single from Cwfen, one of Kerrang!’s picks for the best new bands to pay attention to in 2024…
New Glasgow doomgaze band Cwfen (pronounced ‘coven’), have at long last shared their debut single, Reliks.
Having been earmarked in January by yours truly as one of the most exciting new bands of the year – in fact, our actual words were that they play a ‘beguiling blend of doom metal and gothic post-punk for those who like to live deliciously’ – today the quartet have revealed exactly why.
Vocalist/guitarist Agnes Alder explains that Cwfen’s first single “is about facing your final moments, when everything you thought you knew starts to unravel. It’s not about faith, but about the reality that all your ideas and beliefs might not hold up forever.”
