Biography

Belgium

Fear Falls Burning is a / act from Belgium. It was created by Dirk Serries after he stopped with Vidna Obmana in 2007.

With all the power, noise, aggression and subtlety that comes from a single man performing real-time on the electric guitar through a maze of pedal effects, notes and chords shifting and multiplying over time into dense and trance-inducing walls of sound.

Fear Falls Burning succeeds in uncovering a new language that stretches time and brings the listener to the edge multiple times, entrancing with the repetitive yet pure sonic presence of the electric guitar. Fear Falls Burning sets himself apart from the current drone scene by using different techniques and an expansive collection of pedaleffects.

The zen-induced result of a harsh method of musical effacement: Lonely tones drift through harmoniously singing clouds of sustain, black streams of crunching distortion flow underneath heavenly harmonics, minuscule melodies appear and drift off. With no overdubs or post-production effects involved, the compositions progress in an organic and natural way, giving the music a special feeling and soul that is missing from many recordings these days.

    Great ambient drones. Perhaps even better than Serries' work as Vidna Obmana.

    Great music and a nice person. 'The Carnival of Ourselves' is very meditative and chilled, good stuff.
