Behind the Scenes of DÖ's "Unversum": The Creative Process, Pandemic Struggles, and New Beginnings

In this episode of "Concerts That Made Us," J'andrömeda, Teröid, and Kristös from DÖ delve into the intricate journey behind their third LP, "Unversum." They reveal the album's five-year creation process, which was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, causing delays and necessitating creative adaptations.

 

A major highlight of the discussion is the substantial contributions of their newest member, Teröid. They explain how Teröid's fresh perspective and innovative ideas infused new energy into the band, influencing both the songwriting and the overall sound of "Unversum."

 

The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they recount memorable concert experiences. They vividly describe a chaotic gig in Tallinn, where technical difficulties and an unruly crowd tested their resilience but ultimately resulted in an unforgettable performance. Another highlight is their vibrant show in Lithuania, which stands out for its enthusiastic audience and the electric atmosphere that made it a standout moment in their touring history.

 

Additionally, the band provides a deep dive into the Finnish music scene, emphasizing its niche yet vibrant nature. They discuss how the scene, though small, is rich with talent and creativity, fostering a close-knit community of artists and fans. The band members express their gratitude for the support they've received from this community and their excitement about future performances and touring opportunities. They hint at upcoming projects and tours, leaving listeners eager for what's next from DÖ.

DÖ Profile Photo

DÖ, a riff-praising, cosmos-worshipping trio that feeds on dark astral energy and compresses it into what we call “döömer” – a unique Northern mix of stoner, doom, sludge, and psychedelic elements with hints of death/black metal.

They have been slowly but steadily gathering global recognition for a decade now. During that time, DÖ have released four EPs and two albums, all of which have gained praise in respected music media around the world, including Doom Charts.

Known for their loud, energetic gigs and maniacal drummer. Over the years, DÖ have played dozens and dozens of gigs of all sizes from DIY caves to festivals like Soulcrusher (NL), Nummirock (FI), Desert Hel (FI), and also shared the stage with the legendary Church of Misery.
