Sowed by the occult hand of the dead city, Phuture Doom arose devoid of all but the curse.

In fact, everything about Phuture Doom is a bit strange. Looking at their website could force one into a seizure. Their music videos are haunting and their advertising/marketing strategies almost try to deny their audience of any information — awesome.

The most recent Facebook campaign included a picture (below) with this as the caption:  “Tom̨orr̡o͏w͠ Be̛g̷ińs҉ ́The H̀un͘t For T͟rut͡h͟.”

(Tomorrow Begins The Hunt For Truth)

After a bit of research, we were able to determine that the photo is an edited version of one found on the Wikepdia page for Frigg — a goddess of Norse paganism whose name is the origin of the word “Friday.” She was said to have had the power of prophecy but never revealed what she knew…

A day later, Phuture Doom posted this picture:

With the caption:

“F̢́͘o̴rb̸̨i̢͢͝ḑ̷d̶͏e͡n̸͞ ͏̶Kn̵͘o̕͠wl̷̡͏e̷͟d̛͘͜g̷̨̢e͠ ̷̀͢L͢͢įès̡ ̴͜W̸̨ít̢̕͝h̵͡i͞n҉. ̶A̷̴ ̴̢C͝oįl͟e̛d ̢͟͝L̶̛̀a҉b́yr̴ì̴̛ņ͠t͠h R̛͝id̵d́͘le҉́s͏ T͢h̵̀é ̵̷͞F̡͢u̢t͟͜u͞ŕe͞.̷̡ ̛͟L҉o͏̡ơk̡͝ ͠C͡l͜͏͜o̴s͜e̕͞ĺ͡y̷͏ ̀́Y͡oư̢ ͢M̸͞a̛͢y ̢F̵i̸̛͡n͘d҉̧ ͘͡A̡ ̡́K̀e͘y͝͡”

Take a closer look. On the bottom left corner is a QR code which leads you to this site with the cryptic message reading, “Frigg Sees The Future Of All Men But Never Reveals… Except On Her Holly Day.”

We’re no detectives here at Just Noise to Me, but if we had to guess we’d say you can expect a new EP from Phuture Doom tomorrow, August 2, 2013.

UPDATE: 

The group has now released this INSANE video which appears to be a mashup of their possible new EP “Error Activate”…? Throughout the video there are symbols and nonsense for subtitles, until a barely readable title appears. Ones we caught were “Mach 100,” “Black Acid Reign,” and “Burn the Knowledge.” Two of those songs already appear on the Nightfall EP, so we’re still not exactly sure what this video is for…

UPDATED UPDATE:

Yet another video has been released on Phuture Doom’s Facebook page. Much like our last update, this video is another string of songs we can only assume will be released all together on a new EP…? Again, this is all in question as the group continues to dazzle us with their mysterious background and all around purpose!

The post Who is Phuture Doom? appeared first on Just Noise To Me.

If you’re not familiar, the singer, Papa Emeritus (speculated to be Tobias from Repugnant), is some sort of Pope of Satan, and his nameless ghouls wear plague doctor masks with long black robes to further enhance the ridiculousness.

ANYWAY, Ghost is a special blend of King Diamond and Blue Oyster Cult, in that, you can get people who metalheads non-metalheads alike sing songs about Satan, which is alright by me. With that pop element in mind, there was luckily no mosh pit, it was mostly hyper-spazztic people singing out of tune with Papa. I can attest to the overall vibe of the crowd which was likened to a hoard of eight-year-olds at a Hanson concert in the mid-1990’s. Just, straight-up Disneyland-caliber giddiness, with devil horns and a lot of beards.

Before the show, a man stood behind me in a suit talking about his Christian beliefs and how he still listens to to bands like Ghost, which was…perplexing. A pope wearing inverted crucifixes isn’t really what I consider a wholesome evening. Among the other varities at the show included part-time metal guys and gals, a few “I heard one song and they’re cool” guys, indiscriminate music preference guys, crusty punx, cyber goths ruining everybody’s lives, brainless thrash kids, and any variation on those scenes.

It was a little strange to see such a large array of people coming together, especially in a place like Tucson. Ghost mainly played the hits off their Opus Enonymous record, and sprinkled in a grip of new songs off Infestissumam. Songs like ‘Ritual’ and ‘Death Knell’ were obvious fan favorites, and what I consider, the more classic Ghost sound.

A lot of people give Papa Emeritus some flack over his sometimes wavering voice, but he sounded solid, and vocals were strong. The ghouls played flawlessly, even the keyboard solo on ‘Genesis’ did not have a note missing, definitely not a half-assed gimmick band, these dudes are super talented. I can’t even imagine the balls that they smell like after playing in those masks and robes each night…much respect.
