APF Records To Release Toom’s ‘Behold The Basilisk’ EP
Written by Johnson Stephen on September 6, 2021
Back in 2007 three long-haired teenage stoner doom fans naturally drifted towards each other in the depths of rural Suffolk.Hoping to avoid drowning in the sea of mediocre-metalcore and emo-misery that surrounded them, Teddy-James Driscoll, Jus Smith and Jack Newnham formed Toom.
This band was a short-lived but a heavy, growling, riff-laden beast.
After releasing just one two-track demo and having only ever played a handful of shows, a personal feud between Toom members caused them to split up and go their separate ways.
In the months before the trio parted ways, they entered SAE Studios in London and in a single night recorded a monstrously heavy EP titled ’Behold The Basilisk’. It was never released.
APF Records will be releasing Toom’s EP for the first time on 1st October 2021.
Commenting on the EP Jack Newnham states “For us, this release is a time capsule back to a long weekend, just over a decade ago.”
