🥀 Zhesht Events somberly presents Doom over Tbilisi with Shape of Despair from Finland, Ennui (GE) Hymera (GE) and Illusions Play from TurkeyShape of Despair
Formed in 1995, Shape of Despair stand among the true pioneers of funeral doom metal. Their music is defined by glacial tempos, towering riffs, and a haunting interplay of deep growls and forlorn, ethereal female vocals, drawing the listener into vast, ill-lit twilight atmospheres. They carry a monumental sound that is both endlessly massive and painfully fragile, a crushing wave of grief to wash upon an entranced soul, extending to the innermost reaches of the self. It's an immersive introspective voyage through sorrow, loss and desperation, crafted for attentive listeners who value depth over a quick dopamine fix. A jagged instrument to cut into the deepest and most burdened corners of an aching heart. After decades of acclaimed yet unhurried releases and hand picked live appearances the band will finally bring their devastating sound to the Caucasus.
Ennui
Formed in Tbilisi, Georgia in 2012 by David Unsaved and Sergi Shengelia Ennui has carved a deep niche in the global atmospheric funeral doom metal scene with 4 full length releases showcasing their crushingly heavy, melancholic sound and unfiltered emotion. Ennui will be presenting their highly anticipated upcoming album in an unforgettable live appearance that promises to capture the full breadth of their musicianship and emotional depth. Expect a slow-burn, haunting performance to take you on a trip into the profound and the existential.
Hymera
Hailing from Tbilisi, Georgia, Hymera was formed in 2000, making ripples in the local scene with their distinctive but eclectic gothic rock sound. Though the band faced a long hiatus since 2007, anchored by its core members, Hymera reemerged in 2018, diving into studio recordings and live performances with reignited passion for music and renewed energy.
Illusions Play
Emerging from the ancient echoes of Istanbul, Illusions Play, an atmospheric doom-death metal band, took its first breath in 2011 as a project of Vitaliy Petrenko. With their first release, Illusions Play quickly established themselves as a force in atmospheric doom/death metal. building their sound on contrasts - glacial riffs collide with dark, deliberate rhythms, guttural growls intertwine with soaring clean vocals. Crafting sonic landscapes of dystopian grandeur, Illusions Play transforms desolation into a breathtaking, soul-stirring beauty, providing a compelling soundtrack to a world in flux.
