PRESS & REVIEWS

"...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."
