Hailing from the Dilmun lands of Kuwait and Bahrain in the Middle East, Kusoof was founded in the year 2008 by Eridu after two tracks were recorded which remained nameless (as did the project). Soon Eridu contacted Learza from Bahrain to be apart of the band. Learza from Bahrain and Eridu from Kuwait have been collaborating for a while. The band records and composes by sending tracks back and forth to each other through the internet.
Discussing the next step of the project, Learza conjured the name through the music's atmosphere and suggested the name "Kusoof", which is the Arabic word for solar eclipse. A few weeks later Learza began recording the vocals and writing the lyrics and the two decided that their first 4-track demo would be entitled "Vile".
Influences:
USBM, Norweigan black metal, French black metal, 60s and 70s psychedelic/progressive rock (as well as some contemporary bands inspired by that sound), shoegaze, post-rock, stoner doom, drone.
