Discover the dark depths of Norway's black metal scene with Urarv's upcoming release, "Substratum" - a raw, unrelenting sonic journey that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Norwegian black metal band Urarv is set to release their latest offering "Substratum" on Polypus Records on April 4th, 2023. The album features alternative versions of songs from their previous albums Aurum and Argentum, as well as one brand new track.
This is not a compilation; it's an entirely new vision for the band, offering alternative versions of tracks from Aurum and Argentum, recorded in 2013 before their first two albums. Additional instruments and layers were added in 2021/2022, creating an epic and insane journey through long-forgotten cesspools and sewers. As a special treat for fans, "Substratum" also features a brand new, never-before-heard track. Embrace the darkness and witness the evolution of Urarv's sound through this reimagined debut. With influences ranging from Ved Buens Ende to Dødheimsgard and Darkthrone, "Substratum" is a journey through the band's raving mad past, present, and future. The album showcases their unique sound, which transcends traditional black metal, incorporating a variety of instruments and vocal styles. In the words of Urarv's frontman, "Substratum" is "merely a treat for any of you sick fucks that actually want to listen to this triangle of toilets that is URARV, while we get busy working on the third studio album." "Substratum" will be available in digital, CD and LP formats. |
