Rob Hammer if I had to pick an album as my favourite by this band it would be this one... Favorite track: Deityrant.

Nekobibu Crushing and aerial at the same time, thanks to a stellar production and expert layering.
Listening to this album is indeed akin to being trampled by a space mammoth. And who doesn't like that?

Doom King An atmospheric thudder with good riffery.

I was reading Ovid while listening to this and the music brought the episodes to life in ways that only I will ever know...
Enjoyably loud.

🤘🤘 Favorite track: Deityrant.

Obstacle of Affliction Don't forget to pack extra underwear for this trip because you never want to be found unconscious with dirty underwear.

thefuglychuds fantastic album. never gets old.

mypeaceb4u Everything one would want to explore your brain. This album takes you further than a spaceship. Favorite track: Oroborus.

"Ufomammut, the Italian experimenters of space and sound, have returned with their second album of the year: Oro – “Opus Alter”. This album follows on seamlessly from Oro – “Opus Primum” released five months prior. The depth of meanings present in the wordplay involved in the naming of the albums is worth noting in that the albums are intended to be alchemic variations of one another. Ufomammut state that the concept behind the album name is a play on the palindromic ‘Oro’ which means ‘gold’ in Italian and ‘I pray’ in Latin. The etymology of the word ‘alter’ derives from the medieval latin meaning ‘other of two’ and semantically indicates a difference without a change. Ufomammut present Opus Alter as the dark twin of Opus Primum and develop musical as well as linguistic motifs from Primum in Alter.

A sense of controlled chaos is vented through thick layers of guitars, shattering drums and distant screams. You could loop this album and it would work as a circular song, 'Ouroboros' links both albums to each other and swallows it's own tail in the process. 'Sulphurdew' and 'Deityrant' are stand out tracks containing trademark beastly riffs and a gigantic scale of sound. Ufomammut create a highly atmospheric world of sound that will unfailingly shape your mood and inject vast amounts of bass into your mind."

Enemy of the Sun

Neurosis is a band that I’ve struggled with. I’m not a fan of the vocals on several albums. Enemy of the Sun is a classic; the drums place you in a different world. It’s trance inducing music. Metallurgical Fire
