Famyne Electronic Press Kit - EPK

"The world keeps finding new ways to bring us down, and The Ground Below is a perfect soundtrack for the great descent..." - Sam Law, Kerrang!, 2022

Biography

Famyne - 5 piece Doom Metal band from Canterbury, United Kingdom


Tom Vane - Vocals (2014 - present)

Tom Ross - Guitar (2019 - present)

Martin Emmons - Guitar (2018 - present)

Christopher Travers - Bass (2014 - present)

Mike Ross - Drums (2021 - present)


Hailing from the heart of the garden of England, Canterbury Doom outfit Famyne have, ever since conception in 2014, been steadily building a name for themselves, and a sound all of their own. 


Gathering a dedicated following from the very first moment they exploded onto the scene, they quickly released the ‘Famyne EP’ in 2015, which spread their low, slow and haunting sound right across the metal world and beyond. The following year, the band won the Metal 2 the Masses competition in Kent, earning a place at Bloodstock Open Air 2016, before playing at Into The Grave Festival that same year in The Netherlands - their first foray into the wider doom community, but certainly not the last.


Famyne bring an insatiably energetic live performance, with hypnotic waves of crushing riffs and pounding rhythm, smothered in pure dread, expressed in the distinct, inimitable voice of their lead vocalist. 


By the close of 2018, the band had self released their debut full-length album to critical acclaim, following it up with an extensive tour of Europe, which further pushed home their prototypical, distinct sound, and allowed citizens across the old world to experience them first hand. But they didn’t stop there: with ever increasing acclaim and momentum, in 2019 Famyne toured 11 countries once again, working hard to cement the reputation they had gained; dragging doom kicking and screaming into the 21st century, signing to Svart Records that same year. 


Never one to rest on their laurels, during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 the lads feverishly worked on the follow-up to their self-titled album, testing some unreleased material on the rapturous thousands gathered before them in the S.O.P.H.I.E. tent, at Bloodstock Open Air 2021.


In May of the following year the band's second album Famyne II: The Ground Below was released through Svart records, once again to critical acclaim. The album represents an evolution in the band's sound, with heavier songs on an altogether more epic scale, yet still they remain true to their doomy roots. The band toured both continental Europe and the UK throughout 2022/23 in support of the release, with highlights including opening the main stage at Into the Grave Fest, NL and also performing in Reykjavik, Iceland's capital.


In 2024, the band begun work on their third full length album, which shows a further development of their style into unknown territories, whilst still being firmly rooted in the doom bracket. A flurry of appearances in both the UK and EU with highlights including Red Crust Festival (Scotland), Siege of Limerick (ROI), & Margate Rock Festival. 


In 2025, Famyne headlined the Black Heart stage of Desertfest London, and will appear on the main stage of Bloodstock Open Air. 

Meanwhile, the third album looms ever closer... Watch this space.
