While he may be best known for his roles in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds, Omar Doom has committed most of his creative life to music. Doom’s latest musical project STRAIGHT RAZOR sees him crafting a blend of darkwave, techno and EBM anchored around menacing beats and hypnotic, clockwork melodies.

After a string of standalone singles and remixes, Doom released his STRAIGHT RAZOR debut, 2021’s Vol. 1 EP. He followed up with 2022’s Vol. 2 EP. Last year, he launched his label DOOM VISION with STRAIGHT RAZOR — REMIXED EP, an effort that featured remixes by Gost, Corvad, Moris Blak, Nightcrawler, Destryur and ESA. Destryur released their latest album Dimensions through Doom’s new label.

Doom’s highly-anticipated full-length debut, Casualty was released earlier this month. Album single “The Curse” is a brooding, club friendly banger that’s a slick mix of 80s New Wave and goth featuring menacing, tweeter and woofer rattling beats, glistening synth arpeggios paired with Doom’s plaintive delivery.

Directed by Joe Cardamone, the accompanying video for “The Curse” is shot in a gorgeous and cinematic black and white and captures the brooding nature of the song.
