Voimaton

VOIMATON is a word of Finnish origin, which loosely translated means "powerless." Fittingly, the band's lyrical themes center around the failings of humanity, nihilism, and feeling powerless in the face of nature’s cruel inflictions upon mankind. Even more fittingly, VOIMATON's brand of death-doom blends crushing traces of Cianide and Saint Vitus with the off-kilter weirdness of '90s Finnish death metal. It's a sick sound that's simultaneously familiar yet refreshing. The conception of VOIMATON began immediately following the demise of local outfit Narcotic in 2016, whose lineup included Dave Tibbetts and Pat O’Hara. While VOIMATON had no official name at the time, and despite numerous false-starts throughout 2017 and 2018, Dave and Pat finally welcomed Henry (ex-Sable Beldam) into the fold in November 2018 to help bring VOIMATON into the physical realm, solidifying the trio.
