Fall of Gnosis is an underground extreme Metal band from South Carolina, USA, active since 2022. The project operates within the Death Metal / Doom Metal / Sludge Metal spectrum, incorporating psychedelic and occult elements rooted in Gnostic mysticism and esoteric philosophy.
And indeed what we get on ‘November Sorrow’ is pure desolate Death Metal / Doom Metal and Sludge Metal with a cavernous production: psychedelic leads, oppressive atmospheres, ritualistic pacing and deep, brutal Death Metal growls.
Common comparisons are Disembowelment, Grave Upheaval, Evoken and slower Morbid Angel. Overall character of this music is slow, dark, asphyxiating, and metaphysical rather than purely aggressive, bleak and grim.
The band leans heavily into cosmic and occult themes, favoring mood and weight over technical flash. Fall of Gnosis stands as a modern Death Metal / Doom Metal entity rooted in old‑school extremity and esoteric ideology. Their work appeals strongly to listeners drawn to slow, crushing Metal with philosophical depth, rather than trend‑driven extremity.
The five tracks on this EP are pulverizing and offer at least 25 minutes of disorientation and superb musicianship before the Play button needs to be pressed again.
Fans of outerworldly Death Metal / Doom Metal / Sludge Metal with crushing dissonant vibes need to check out this EP.
