The Doomsday Orchestra’s captivating debut, ‘Papyrus’, delivers a unique sound that instantly cements them as ones to watch.
The Doomsday Orchestra – Papyrus
While ‘Papyrus’ is a debut single, The Doomsday Orchestra are far from new to the game. Formerly operating under the title ‘Gold Fever’, the trio has been playing together for several years, establishing themselves within their local scene and becoming one of Bristol’s best-kept secrets. With the rebrand, the trio have carved out a clearer, more cinematic artistic vision whilst sticking to their roots.
Describing their sound themselves as ‘post-apocalyptic pop’, The Doomsday Orchestra aim to create a soundtrack for ‘a world that ended in the 80s’. Influences from this time are evident in the overall style of ‘Papyrus’, from the punk-pop sound to the music video style, which channels vintage VHS visuals with a dystopian flair. This post-apocalyptic sound is crafted through the slightly distorted vocals, which create an almost eerie contrast when layered with the punchy and synthy instrumentation.
“Intense yet danceable, this track feels anthemic. ‘Papyrus’ presents a confident and conceptually rich debut. “
Old fans of the previous project, ‘Gold Fever’ will be far from disappointed with The Doomsday Orchestra. With such strong foundations and an alluring rebrand, the trio are set to entice a new audience and go on to further great things.
