STRFLL - Part I. Withering

Earlier this month, STRFLL put out the stellar double album "Withering / The Flowers Will Bloom In My Sanctuary", and I wanted to spend enough time with it before blogging about it here. "Part 1: Withering" may be STRFLL's most radical and genre-pushing release to date - a daring and absolutely successful feat of finding common ground between witch house, black metal, industrial, experimental hip-hop, noise, and more. It's a brooding record, punk at its core, filled with tons of dark energy unleashed across seven eclectic capsules, enhanced by guest vocal performances from (the show-stealing) Same Me, Devour, and Kylm Tee. I totally love the sonic nods to CRAVE and Planning For Burial. I think it's telling when my favourite track on the LP changes every time I revisit it. At the time of writing, I just want to have "Withdrawal" crawling under my skin. Absolutely do not miss out on this album. Part two review coming soon!

You can buy "Part I. Withering" here. Stream all the tracks below.

Witcha - Liars feat. STRFLL

"Liars" is the second single from Witcha's upcoming album "Marigold", featuring STRFLL on extra production duties. I was not expecting it to sound the way it does, its a fast and furious dancefloor tune, that gived a nod to French electro scene. Download the single here.

STRFLL - Hatred For Everything

Holy fuck, STRFLL goes all in on this new single. Raw, brutal and more metal that I was expecting, despite donning the most metal logo on the cover. Support here!

STRFLL Feat. Same Me - Night Vision // video

"

STRFLL's new single with Same Me is a freaking radical banger. Channeling CRAVE's delivery in the first half, STRFLL opens the track with a whispered grave-rap to the tune of sick witch house beat. The second half is owned by Same Me who drops a verse that takes me back to backpack era of 2000s, but with a British accent. So good!

Exsufflation - Ashes (Strfll Remix)

STRFLL steps up for remix duties, adding their special touch and distortion to Exsufflation's single "Ashes". The track originally appeared on his new album "Channel 0", which came out a few weeks ago (review coming soon!). Meanwhile, grab this sick remix here.

STRFLL - Summer Drone

STRFLL's new drone single hits the same sweet spot as Enya "Orinoco Flow", slowed down 300%. Bliss with an edge, I just wish it was 8 minutes longer! Make sure to support here.

STRFLL - Rebirth

"Rebirth" is a new EP from STRFLL, consisting of four remastered and reworked "oldies". All the tracks gained extra flesh on their bones, making them sound richer, more layered and noisier - rad stuff. Glad to hear "Doin Better" getting a second life, it's a banger that sort of went unnoticed at the time. If I had a car I'd definitely put this on my permanent rotation.

Buy the EP here, and stream all four tracks below.

STRFLL - Gloom

Image

Brand new sonic dirge from STRFLL, aptly titled "Gloom". Featuring two original productions by themselves, a track each from Suffer Ring and Gonerville, and a sick Crim3s remix, the minimix packs a punch, despite being only 6 minutes and 40 seconds long. Sadly, the download option is disabled at the time of writing. You can stream the mix on Soundcloud.

STRFLL - Forget (Remixes)

STRFLL managed to assemble a selection of aural misfits, witchy disruptors and new-wave punks for their new EP "Forget (Remixes)", which dissects my favourite single of 2025. Ritualz delivers a trance-infused witch house anthem, brilliantly deconstructing the vocal order of the original. The newcomer Exsufflation drags the track through the mud of hell, slowing down the tempo and adding that extra layer of grime. Karsino Kuuni totally rewires the original, turning it into an experimental, muffled horror. Beauty brings back the ethereal mood with an uplifting edit, but it's Mimmu who supplies my favourite remix here - his upbeat, two-step garage flip is just brilliant. The EP is wrapped up with [lyn]'s cinematic post-club banger. Heat left, right, and centre. Don't sleep on this release!

STRFLL - Live At Riga

Half an hour of live renditions of STRFLL's hits from the latest album "In Memoriam", recorded during their Latvian gig in Riga. Perfect brew of Lo-fi fuzz and witchy soul. This only cements my belief that "Forget" is the best track of 2025.

STRFLL - Stripped Down, Torn Apart

Bandcamp day special from STRFLL, offering two "stripped-down" versions of "In Memorial" bangers "Hold On" and "Forget". Guitar heavy goodness from the North East, now it makes me wonder how those two would sound in an acoustic version. Support and stream here.

STRFLL - In Memoriam

Best album of the year.

You can still order the tapes here. Stream the whole album below.

STRFLL - Rarities

New/old collection of curiosities from STRFLL, including demos and drafts of various songs. Love the selection of textures, tempos and melodies here. The live edit of "Drawn To You" hits way harder than the original, while "Eternia (Demo)" sounds like something from the early years, love them both. The three rough drafts towards the end could easily be songs in their own right, so good, especially "Sunbather". Do. Not. Sleep. Support!

STRFLL - To Black / Down

Image

STRFLL covered not one, but two singles from Ritualz, and the result couldn't be better! "To Black" was the lead single from the 2018 album "Doom", while "Down" was originally released on the outtake LP "Gloom". STRFLL vocals make both edits sounds darker and more sinister - "Down" in particular sounds eerie as fuck, like a soundtrack for vampire hunting. You can stream both tracks here, but I hope they will appear on Bandcamp soon.

STRFLL - Untitled

STRFLL's four-track EP arrived at the end of Summer 2025, following the acclaimed debut album "In Memoriam". It’s probably their most hip-hop-leaning release in a while, packed with fat beats and heavy bass.

STRFLL - Insanity Era Pt. III - I Wish I Could Go Back To How It Used To Be

STRFLL decided to release the third volume in the "Insanity Era" series, chronicling the recording process of their magnum opus "In Memoriam". It showcases all the early demo versions along with a handful of new and untitled tracks - a phenomenal view into the artist's initial drafts and sketches that further prove how much they grew as a producer.

This one slipped through the cracks earlier this month. "222mix" is STRFLL's latest mixtape, featuring seven drag edits and one cover of ÐOSE's "Cut". Raw shit, stream here.

STRFLL - Breathe Remixes

To coincide with the release of STRFLL's debut album "In Memoriam", a four-track EP/single was published with four remixes of "Breathe", originally recorded with Suffer Ring on vocals. We get one in-house remix by STRFLL themselves, as well as a witch-electro banger from the Polish newcomer Fainting Faith, French house surprise from Witcha, and an evil noise rendering from Pepsy. I love the diversity of sounds here, and you should definitely check this one out.

STRFLL - B-Sides

"B-Sides" is STRFLL getting their house in order before the premiere of their debut album, collecting some of the loose joints that didn't make the cut. "(2)" is my personal favourite here, all the tunes are louder and more in your face, but I guess that means nothing to anyone who hasn't heard the album yet (I had the privilege). Overall, it's a good selection of bonus tracks that, in my opinion, rightly didn't end of on the final product.

Get the pack here. Stream below.
