Hear  Stuporous ' "Decorating the Willow Tree" in its entirety exclusively HERE .

Stuporous  is a Dutch/Belgian black-doom band with members from the infamous Zwotte Kring collective. With a history in black metal going back to the '90’s, and a deep interest in doom metal, the idea for Stuporous  was born. 

Stuporous  is the brainchild of Floris Velthuis, who had previously flirted with blackened doom with his non-orthodox black metal band Meslamtaea. Trumpeter Izzy Op de Beeck, who’s also part of Meslamtaea, plays in various jazz-noir projects. Doom, therefore, is familiar territory to him, and he adds a special dark jazz vibe to the music. With singer Devi, who works in psychiatry, the formation is complete. 

Stuporous ' lyrics are about mental disorders and depression, based on true events in the psychiatric facility. Devi’s vocals, at times schizophrenic, are making the listener identify with the suffering persons that the music is about. Traditional grunts and screams are interspersed with clean vocals. 

The band's first public recording,  Asylum's Lament  sounds heavy, nostalgic, and melancholic - dreamlike, but not a pleasant dream, as the listener is drowning into a mental nightmare maelstrom...
