About this Event
DOOMSDAY @ The Downstairs
Calling all metalheads, doomheads, headbangers, thrashers, and other nocturnal creatures! Come join us for a night of apocalyptic angst at The Downstairs! Get ready for an aesthetic journey filled with music, film, food, drinks, and dread. Whether you prefer death, drone, funeral, sludge, stoner, or traditional doom, this event is perfect for you. Grab your friends and head on down to The Downstairs for an unforgettable evening of heavy music! Don't miss out!
Drawing from the theoretical premises of depressive realism, philosophical pessimism, and Freudian-Lacnian psychoanalysis, the organizers of DOOMSDAY @ The Downstairs acknowledge negative aspects of human existence as essential and innate. The music genuinely delves into realms such as death, suicide, trauma, anxiety, depression, despair, melancholy, loss of self, hopelessness, and other dimensions of suffering. We do not intend to be helpful and efficient in the sense that we do not seek to heal or alleviate suffering. Instead of offering strategies for attaining a happy and successful life, we suggest the art of gracefully enduring the pains of existense and the practice of standing alongside one another amisdst that pain. The organizers of DOOMSDAY are not trying to save anyone. We are here for you in the dark night of your soul when you no longer believe that salvation is possible.
