Episode 45: Nikos Vlachakis (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)
