Fomented are a fierce new force in the UK’s Metal & Hardcore scene, and they are proud to unleash their blistering debut EP titled ‘Bitter and Miserable Beings’ which will be released on all streaming platforms from the Friday 7th March. Featuring members of Ashen Crown, DeathCollector, and ex-Savage Messiah, Fomented armed with their gut-wrenching riffs, intense vocals have crafted an explosive debut full of gut-wrenching riffs, intense vocals, and a sound that refuses to be categorised. ‘Bitter and Miserable Beings’ is completely a DIY effort, the band have crafted everything from the writing and recording to artwork, mixing and mastering.

Vocalist, Kieran Scott and multi instrumentalist, Sy Taplin have taken a hands-on approach, to create a raw and honest statement of their creative process, without the pressures of a traditional studio environment. Channelling the influences of Kublai Khan, Knocked Loose and Lamb Of God, the result is a furious and genre-blending mix of hardcore, nu-metal, and death metal that explores the complexities of human existence.

Said vocalist Kieran Scott:

Our music is a mirror of ourselves as human beings. The entire EP dives into the contradictions, self-harm, and self-sabotage we all face. The fear of change often leads us to stay stuck in the familiar, even when it means walking headfirst into our own failures. We hope this resonates with people who, like us, feel trapped in cycles they can’t break.

 

I can’t stop listening to this record! It’s an absolute flawless masterpiece. 10/10, – Wayne Dorman (Onslaught)

Fomented are an odd beast! This band is not a one-trick pony so if you like your music, heavy, and dynamic, this band is for you. – Jason Walton (Agalloch / MoonBladder)

Track Listing:

1. What Can I Change
2. Tempus Fugit
3. Eigengrau
4. The Predator
5. Captain Slidey Pants

Fomented’s debut EP is a must-listen for fans of aggressive, emotionally charged metal. Its ferocious, unrelenting riffs are met with lyrical themes that hit hard, and together they create a sound that is as unpredictable as it is powerful. This EP marks the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey for the band.

‘Bitter And Miserable Beings’ will be released on Friday 7th March 2025 via all major streaming platforms.

This EP is like an M. Night Shamalan movie. I don’t know what to expect next! no gimmicks just a fun melting pot of genres! – Coty Garcia (Wretched Tongues)
