Emerging from Louisiana’s sludge and hardcore underground, FANE have taken a significant step forward by signing with Italian labels Octopus Rising and Argonauta Records for their upcoming album. The band marked the announcement with the release of their first single, “Passages.”

Formed by long-time collaborators Ryan Ashmore and Trey Porche, FANE channel their years of experience within the Louisiana underground into a more focused, boundaryless musical vision. Without confining themselves to rigid genre frameworks, the project reinterprets elements of doom, sludge, hardcore, folk, and black metal through its own distinct aesthetic lens.

“Passages” stands as the first concrete manifestation of this approach. The track draws attention with its weighty rhythmic structures, expansive sense of atmosphere, and deliberate use of space. The band strikes a balance between heaviness and introspection, crafting a listening experience that is at once oppressive and contemplative.
