“Everything about this album is just perfect.”
METAL EPIDEMIC

“From the opening drum roll to the squalls of feedback that end the song, Old Horn Tooth have a strong control of dynamics, moving from fuzzy and thunderously loud to clean, shimmering passages. In a time when doom bands are a dime a dozen, the intentionality is refreshing.”
DECIBEL MAGAZINE

“Doom is about more than being slow. Slow is just the arena in which it operates. It’s what bands can do at such tempos that separates those who know what they’re up to from those who don’t. Old Horn Tooth don’t seem to understand anything else. On Mourning Light, they are, indeed, masters of the riff.”
KERRANG! MAGAZINE

“Mourning Light may just propel Old Horn Tooth to the upper levels to the forefront of the Doom/Sludge/Stoner Metal scene with its powerful vision and can be considered one of the most breath-taking, wholly original and defining albums of the whole year.”
OUTLAWS OF THE SUN

“The songs are hypnotic and absorbing, drawing you into their orbit with irresistible gravitational force.”
WONDERBOX METAL

“Pulverising, forlorn doom that looks for hope with every strike of a chord or a drum skin. A magnificent new standard bearer for doom.” 10/10
MUSIPEDIA OF METAL

“London Doom Collective have set the bar high with this first release and it’s an exciting prospect to hear what’s in store for the future.” 8/10
DISTORTED SOUND MAGAZINE

“The immediate touchstone in terms of modus is Monolord, but Old Horn Tooth carve their own niche in mountainous sounds.”
THE OBELISK

“Stoner genres can appreciate what the band have presented us with here; a slice of magnificence that can’t be ignored.”
CLEAN SHEETS MUSIC BLOG

“The songs are absolutely crushing with a steady thunder pushing every chord. Fans will need to be patient in listening but the reward is well received.”
MONUMENTS IN RUIN

“The make great bedfellow with your Slomatics, Conan, and Electric Wizard. Keep your eyes on these lads, for they may soon be joining their company in your shorthand reference to ‘heavy’.”
DOOMED & STONED

“The tones are massive, the music is tight and it’s an all-around great listening experience!”
THE SLEEPING SHAMAN

“Open up the doors and windows to welcome the neighborhood with the tsunami of psychedelic doom known as Mourning Light.”

PRESS INFO:

Last heard slinging low slung fuzzed-out doom on their 2019 album, From The Ghost Grey Depths, Mourning Light is the brand-new studio album from London-based trio, Old Horn Tooth.

For any fans of the genre that have stalked the capital in recent years, chances are London Doom Collective has supplied you with ample opportunity to sample some of the finest underground bands in a live setting. Since 2020 – Ollie, Chris Jones, Mark Davidson, and Sean Durbin – have flexed their DIY muscle as friends, promoters, and three-quarter members of Old Horn Tooth to devastating effect.

“Putting out a record ourselves through London Doom Collective is our own personal statement of independence,” explains bassist, Ollie Isaac. “It’s a testament to the power of the underground and a direct connection with the scene, people and international doom community that has supported, guided and helped us grow.”

Often drawing comparisons to the likes of Conan and Monolord, Old Horn Tooth are a stirring colossus that offer up hypnotic, megaton grooves of slow heavy riffage in thrall to the cosmos. As Outlaws of the Sun describe, “You can’t but help being swept by the sheer heaviness and excitement of it all.”

The title track for Mourning Light is a perfect case in point. Serving as an epic fifteen-minute jaunt into the sinister undertones of doom it’s the centrepiece to a startling collection of new songs. All of which navigate the complexities of grief and the resilience of the human spirit.

“This particular song explores the bittersweet memories and hidden sadness accompanying loss, while also offering glimpses of potential hope in the ‘mourning light’. Through its journey from bleak despair to the final acceptance, it encapsulates a shared sorrow and solace in vulnerability.”

Mourning Light by Old Horn Tooth is out now on London Doom Collective.
