Faetooth is an American doom metal band. Their sound features elements from sludge metal, shoegaze and post-metal, and many of their lyrics deal with themes of folklore and spirituality; the band describes their musical style as "fairy-doom metal".[1][2]
History
[edit]The band was founded in Los Angeles, California in 2019, by Jenna Garcia (bass, vocals), Rah Kanan (drums), Ari May (guitar, vocals) and Ashla Chavez-Razzano (guitar, vocals). That same year, the group self-released the EP ...An Invocation on digital format; the record would be re-released on vinyl through the LA label Dune Altar Records in 2021.
Their first full-length album would be released in 2022, titled Remnants of the Vessel. It was also self-released digitally, with physical formats (vinyl, cassette and CD) released through Dune Altar. The album was supported by two singles: "Echolalia" and "La Sorcière".
In 2023, Chavez-Razzano parted ways with the group,[3] founding art-folk group Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit; Faetooth continued as a trio. The next year, the song "Discarnate" (from Remnants of the Vessel) was featured on the Trip to California (Doom Edition) digital compilation by music promoter Weedian.
In 2025, the band released their second studio album, Labyrinthine, now signed to San Francisco label The Flenser.[4] The album was supported by three singles - "Death of Day", "White Noise" and "Hole" - and again released in four different formats (digital, vinyl, cassette and CD).
