PRESS & REVIEWS

“★★★★“

Mojo (UK) – January 2021

“…sprawling and intense… [builds] like extreme weather towards peaks of furious noise…

An absorbing listen that continues to open itself up across repeated plays.”

The Wire (UK) – December 2020

“[An] unsettling piece of art, mimicking the forces of nature at their most destructive, that demands to be heard in one unbroken sitting.”

The Arts Desk (UK) Disc of the Day – January 2021

“New Age Doom simply refuse to recognize musical boundaries … this is a great record that offers a new take on doom, noise, drone, or whatever subgenre you care to place it in.”

NEXUS (Canada) – December 2020

“…vertiginous … truly ritualistic … to get lost in this music is effortless … This is not controlled chaos – it’s chaotic control.”

A Closer Listen – January 2021

“[A] powerful psychoactive improvisation stream. The band ardently lures the listener on a journey through their intriguing vision. Like thousand years old underground shamans, they master a hyper-jump to reach cosmic chaos.”

Grotesqualizer – October 2020

” …when I hit play on the track ‘Phononic Landform Resonance I knew this was really good stuff … with the experimental noises it should sound like chaos but it is far from that!”

Fuzzy Sun – November 2020

” …[layers] masterful and technically terrifying percussion with tube amp screamers, modular freak outs and soothing ambient tones. It’s a completely fucked, completely right piece of music for the frontier coming home.”

Tome To The Weather Machine – December 2020

“…an ecstatic frenzy of muscular experimentation.”

Cyclic Defrost – November 2020

“…incredibly cathartic [and] exudes more energy than you could ever believe for its whole duration.”

Mix It All Up – December 2020

” Combining virtuostic percussion, upright bass and squelching, squealing and cannonballing analog electronics, New Age Doom shred the space time continuum like a bullet through glass. Shattering possible futures and dimensions with abandon.”

Tome To The Weather Machine – January 2021

“…expansive and pummeling.”

Groundsounds – October 2020

“Insert this in any playlist and watch heads turn (and maybe explode).”

American Pancake – December 2020

“The path for a listener should be: find your finest speakers; lend yourself a moment of peace; dive in headfirst.”
