Straight Razor’s Omar Doom continues to mystify. Devouring everything in his path, Doom brings intensity to his dark electronic sound. Best known for his work in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds and Death Proof and formerly of the band Doomington with DJ’s Stretch Armstrong and Eli Escobar, Doom exudes refined aesthetic taste. With a structured approach, Doom’s calculated projections create a perfect dark electronic bass-driven sound.
Straight Razor’s Negative Gain debut comes with the record, “Vol.1” an ambitious EP that pulls directly from EBM. Vol. 1’s sound is direct and nuanced. Doom’s ear for darkness is ever-present in the heavy tones and down-tempo grooves that pulsate throughout each track. Precise and fully articulated this EP stands out with a moody interpretation of EBM.
