Tarantino fans may recognize Omar Doom from his roles in Inglourious Basterds and Death Proof. If you’re not already aware, Doom also has a very cool goth music project, Straight Razor. Doom channels his cinematic storytelling into music, delivering a dark auditory experience. Since releasing the Straight Razor Vol.1 and Vol.2 EPs and founding Doom Vision Records in 2023, Doom has established himself as a force in the goth and Dark Wave music realms.
Doom’s latest album via his Straight Razor endeavor is titled Casualty, and it fittingly drops on Friday the 13th via Doom Vision Records. The album is perhaps Doom’s most personal release yet, delving into universal themes of anxiety, loss, and emotional torment, particularly evident in tracks like “Suffering” and “The End.” Straight Razor will host an exclusive album release party and live performance on December 15 at the Echo in Los Angeles, with special guests Fuedal and Healing to celebrate the new album.
Doom says, “Creating Casualty has been a deeply personal journey. I’ve always wanted to make a Straight Razor vocal album, and this year, I poured everything into it. The songs reflect my frequent battles with overwhelming anxiety–an experience that can feel like the end of the world. This album is my way of confronting those struggles and finding beauty in the chaos”.
Prepare for an immersive night of shadowy beats, hypnotic visuals, and the raw, unapologetic energy that defines Doom’s artistry, presented by NMLA.
