Surtr - Pulvis Et Umbra

Born in 2009 of a cooled fire sparkle evicted from the black Giant’s sword, Surtr unleash a dark atmosphere of traditional doom metal. Hitting the bleeding ground left by doom metal forefathers, early 2011 the band launched its first dark-narco-epical effort under the name ”World of Doom”. After a bunch of shows across France and Germany, Surtr entered studio to record their new album. Pulvis et Umbra collected seven original doom-inspired tracks. With epical hymns praising the return to dust and slow-down odes worshipping shadow, the French power trio's 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. 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).
