Uncompromising Dutch Black Metal – DOODSWENS’ sophomore album out in April via Svart Records Doodswens is a Dutch Black Metal band formed in 2017 by I. Live she performs the drums and vocals, joined by R. & P. on bass and guitar. Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to the word in Dutch translates better to Driven by Death. 

After establishing themselves in the Dutch scene, Doodswens gained an international
following doing tours with Marduk & Gorgoroth. Doodswens’ performances are ceremonial
and ritualistic, which have been reported to be as uplifting as they are devastating,
depending on the demons you bring them to offer. Whatever you carry with you will be
exposed. They like to confront instead of bringing comfort.
If you’ve been on the verge of ending your life, or think about it more often than not, then
you’re living with a death wish. A heavy feeling, like a gray cloud hovering around you,
gasping for breath and blurring your vision. This is incomprehensible to anyone. Except for
those caught in the middle of it. But this album isn’t about giving up. It’s about finding
strength, about someone who regains new energy after facing death. This album isn’t about
wishing for death, but the death of the wish.
Band’s establisher I. talks about the new single “Driven by Death”:
“For me, it was on the way back from a spontaneous adventure, full of music, new
connections, and inspiration. A path without a plan and a journey without a goal, with only a
very strong feeling that this is where I’m meant to be. With a misty horizon of endless
asphalt before me. A large tree at the edge of the road, in the corner of my eye, screaming
that this could just be the end. But what I felt wasn’t fear, it was happiness. With the thought
that if I crash into that tree now, I won’t care at all. Because up until this moment, I’ve done
everything possible, experienced every adventure, and each time, gotten up again and faced
life with that gray cloud around my head. I have a death wish, so if it happens now, it’s okay,
and I’m at peace with it. This was the moment I realized, I’m not afraid of life. I’m driven by
death.”
