Episode 45: Nikos Vlachakis (Föhn)

Vocalist Nikos Vlachakis discusses Condescending, the debut album by funeral-doom three-piece Föhn

Formed in 2016 by friends and former bandmates Georgios Schoinianakis and Nikos Vlachakis, Föhn is a funeral-doom project based out of Athens, Greece.

After several years crafting the tracks that would become debut album Condescending, the lineup of Föhn was completed in 2023, with bassist Georgios Miliaras joining before the now three-piece band entered the studio to create one of the most sonically and emotionally heavy albums of 2024.

Vocalist Vlachakis discusses the album, his enduring friendship with bandmate Schoinianakis and life outside of music.

Closing track: "Persona" (Hypaethral Records/ These Hands Melt, 2024)

Whatever Comes Next
Whatever Comes Next with Tom Osman
On Whatever Comes Next I explore the world of independent and underground music making. I talk with music makers, producers and label owners to hear their stories. I like music with a sense of mystery. I like surprises and unique stories... and noise... and weirdness... and darkness... and I want to learn more.
