SURTR Pulvis et Umbra - Doom Metal

SURTR Pulvis et Umbra will be released in March 2013
Pulvis et Umbra collects seven original and always more doom inspired tracks. With epical hymns praising the return to dust and slowed-down odes worshipping shadows, the French power trio 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.

Surtr is taking Doom Metal into the future with an unbelievable release. (...) Surtr's “Pulvis Et Umbra” is one of the best recorded atmospheric Doom Metal albums that I have heard in a couple years, 5/5 (Brutalism.com)

this was a damn good entry to French doom. (...) Would I seek them out if they were playing the UK? Damn straight, 7.5/10 (Avenoctum.com)

If you are unfamiliar with Surtr, take note of their name as you may be hearing a lot about them once this album is finally unleashed. (...) Great stuff from a great band. (Feedbackmetal.com)

Not trying to stick to some convulted concept seems to have released them as well, making most of what they do hear sound genuinely necessary. Alongside Gallow God's debut this will be one of the best doom releases of 2013 come the end of the year, 4.5/5 (Jukebox Metal)

The band is very much set in the ways of Saint Vitus, Count Raven and to a lesser extent Pagan Altar. (...) this album is indeed packed solid of epic traditional doom metal. (...) The band have arrived and this deserves to be heard and appreciated. Good album, 8/10. (DoomMantia.com)

I really liked "Pulvis Et Umbra",it is a pretty good Doom record with great bass lines (...) I would recommend for people that like Doom Metal to check this band out, 8/10 (metal-temple.com)

Whilst not the most melodic of vocalists, he still manages to bring a bit of depth to the music. He also sometimes uses Black Metal-style vocals and Death Metal grunts (...) everything is done well enough to quench the thirst of any Trad' fan in need of a new dose of lead-heavy riffs.
