SURTR Pulvis et Umbra - Doom Metal

[Altsphere]

SURTR Pulvis et Umbra will be released in March 2013
Pulvis et Umbra collects seven original and always more doom inspired tracks. With epical hymns praising the return to dust and slowed-down odes worshipping shadows, the French power trio second album is the tombstone of the contemporary and modern world. Stationed, guarding the frontier of the realm of doom metal, Surtr is now more than never ready to set the world on fire.

Surtr is taking Doom Metal into the future with an unbelievable release. (...) Surtr's “Pulvis Et Umbra” is one of the best recorded atmospheric Doom Metal albums that I have heard in a couple years, 5/5 (Brutalism.com)

this was a damn good entry to French doom. (...) Would I seek them out if they were playing the UK? Damn straight, 7.5/10 (Avenoctum.com)

If you are unfamiliar with Surtr, take note of their name as you may be hearing a lot about them once this album is finally unleashed. (...) Great stuff from a great band. (Feedbackmetal.com)

Beeindruckend auch das Wechselspiel des Gesangs [...] und SURTR einen wunderbar ausbalancierten Spagat von der "Antike“ der musikgewordenen Langsamkeit hin zum schwermetallischen Epos vollbringen! Chapeau!, 8/10 (Metal.de)

Buy it on CD or Limited blue vinyl LP : http://altsphere.com/shop/en/search?orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=surtr+pulvis+umbra&submit_search=Search

Insgesamt ist der Band ein hörenswertes Album gelungen, das allen Fans des Doom zu empfehlen ist, 7/10 (osnametal.de)

Viel mehr Abwechslung lautet auch hier die Devise (...) alles in Allem ist das Album ein wirklicher Fortschritt, 7.5/10 (Medazzarock.ch)

Insgesamt also eine abwechslungsreiche Angelegenheit und ein kleiner Geheimtip für Doomster mit Geschmack, 7/10 (music-scan.de)

Am Klargesang wurde gearbeitet, es gibt mehr growlige Teile und musikalisch wirkt der Gesamteindruck auch direkter und ausgereifter (...) "I am the Cross"... Richtig klasse ist der erste Chorus, den da hat man noch etwas versteckt neben dem Gesang eine feine Gitarrenmelodie mit eingebaut, 7/10 (Hell-is-open.de)

SURTR hat mit dem Zweitwerk “Pulvis et umbra” ein feines Stück Doom erschaffen, bei dem man zwischen dem rockigen, epischen und mächtigen Doom-Subgenres hin und her pendelt und schafft es doch, dass alles nach SURTR klingt (Amboss-mag.de)

Due to the Masters of Reality cancellation and the comeback of Witchcraft (we're so happy for that) the running orders of Hellfest Open Air Festival changed and SURTR will perform at 11:40AM instead of 10:30AM still on June 22nd at The Valley stage !

For the moment see you at the Belgium border in Lille, France this Friday with Dresden/Leningrad.


"Pulvis et Umbra leaves a firm doomly impression when it’s over. Like Surtr‘s debut, it’s an album by doomers for doomers, but the band is beginning to show signs of forming their own approach within the genre, and in doing so, highlighting a burgeoning agency in their songwriting" (The Obelisk)
