Lost In The Sea Of Empty – EP by KOFN Underground (Aurc Midian Productions)Being part of the innovative Willow Wisp whose motto was “defy the mundane,” the various members of this Hollywood underground collective are now starting up new projects. GLAD (aka Glenn Lee Alan Davis) was the bassist and keyboardist for Willow Wisp – and his latest endeavor is the thoroughly imaginative and genre defying KOFN Underground. At the very commencement of 2021, KOFN Underground unleashed Lost In The Sea Of Empty – a stunning collection of tunes that will tantalize the senses of all who give a good listen.
Opening with the soaring refrains of Forgive Nothing, one notices the sweeping musical arrangements courtesy of GLAD and the rich and vibrant guest vocal performances of Adrienne LaVey and Chris Bone. The song flows seamlessly into the throes of Down The Lonely Path and Simple Splendid Serine Destiny, where an eclectic mix of Doom Metal, Opera, Goth and Classical reign supreme. Down The Lonely Path is revisited with a Tortured Mix, where the sumptuous choirs are enhanced by the chilling and unearthly vo-kill appearance of Tony F Corpse from Willow Wisp infamy (and now in Post Mortem Superstar) – simply mind blowing and over the top brilliance!
Even When The Stars End closes out our journey through Lost In The Sea Of Empty, haunting to its very core of existence. There is no doubt that GLAD possesses the mad skills of an ambitious entity such as Therion, Ulver and well beyond. The KOFN Underground is certainly unpredictable yet always captivating – and with the unveiling of Lost In The Sea Of Empty, GLAD presents the next glorious chapter of his compelling auditory visions. Be sure to go on Spotify and check into the grand and subversive world of KOFN Underground. A true sonic adventure from a musician whose creativity and inspiration knows no bounds. And while you are at it, be sure to check out his The Gothic Side of Life Podcast!
