Described as “pure electric ecstasy” (Unite Asia) and “frenzied, guttural music” (Stereogum), Doldrey produces some of the most deafening, nastiest and aggressive music that Singapore has to offer. Combining elements from various scenes—old-school death metal, classic black metal, feral D-beats, punk and more—Doldrey’s gnarly, cranked-up music has garnered them a hardcore following in Southeast Asia and beyond.
The band debuted with their self-titled EP in 2017, followed by the mini-album Invocation of Doom (2019), and finally emerging in 2022 with their first full-length album, Celestial Deconstruction, under US label Iron Lung Records. While the album is described as “decidedly more metal” compared to past releases, the album’s sound is still one of “pure thrashing nastiness”.
With this record in tow, the band set off on tour, first hitting Indonesia in Nov 2022 followed by their first UK and Europe tour in mid-2023, ending with a set at the long-running Fluff Fest in the Czech Republic. The band also continues to make their presence known in Singapore’s underground scene, performing alongside bands like Wormrot, Amateur Takes Control, Marijannah and more.
