Enigmatic Doom Rockers Fátima Release "Primal", the Title Track to Their Upcoming Album!
If you feel like you've heard me singing the praises of this highly underrated trio from Paris before, you'd be correct. In fact, Fátima's album Eerie soared to the number one spot on my Top 25 Heavy Underground Releases of 2024 list, and I also wrote a super detailed love letter of a review of that release here.
Describing Fátima's sound is one of those things that's easy yet very complex, as the band doesn't fit neatly into one particular category (and I love that). While I could justly say something like "doomy rock filled with psychedelic currents and a killer grungy vocal" to describe their tone, that would be selling Fátima short. I think it's more appropriate to describe their music in terms of the moods and images it evokes, such as hair-raising sci-fi movies, vast swathes of the Gobi Desert, intricate labyrinths, the electric smell in the air before a storm, and the blinding intensity of a whirlwind.
Fátima - Primal
Needless to say, I was overjoyed when Fátima released their new single Primal on November 24, 2025. It just so happens that this song is also the title track to their upcoming album, slated for release on February 3, 2025 via Black Robes Records.
Primal is an immersive but mesmerizing track on which driving percussion frames Fátima's signature storytelling, boasting hypnotic riffs and cyclonic bursts of intensity that draw the listener deeper still into the unfettered mood and evocative imagery. As always, Fátima's sound takes on a razor-sharp cinematic quality, with a crystal clear diegesis emerging through intense waves of spellbinding psychedelia and doom-laden rock. This is a memorable first taste of what we can expect from Fátima's upcoming album which, based upon its cover art, appears to be continuing Fatima's legacy of ultra-creative DIY spirit.
Be on the lookout for the full album to drop on February 3, 2026, and be sure to follow Fátima on their social media pages for more updates!
You can preorder Primal on vinyl and CD at Fátima's official website here!
