Morkobot - Morbo (2011)

2. Orkotomb  3:38

4. Oktrombo  4:43
5. Mor  9:45
6. Oktomorb  3:21
7. Obrom  3:53

When I heard this record my first thought was: Zu. Well after a few listenings I have to say that sometimes this becomes even more weird an experimental than them, but they are still keeping closer his sound. Add some of Primus to the equation as well and you´ll have the spawn! Good, good, good!

Terra Tenebrosa - The Tunnels (2011)

1. "The Teranbos Prayer" - 6:08
2. "Probing The Abyss" - 6:03
3. "The Mourning Stars" - 10:09
4. "The Arc Of Descent" - 7:54
5. "Guiding The Mist/Terraforming" -7:30
6. "Through The Eyes Of The Maninkari" - 5:20
7. "The Tunnels" - 3:53

Dense, deep, atmospheric and swampy work of these swedish guys. Here we have an odd album that combines a diferent kind of styles and sonorities, from atmospheric sludge to ambient and experimental soundscapes. It is not an easy digestion music, and needs more than 2 or 3 listenings to get into it. Despite of it, highly recommended.

Weird work of these norwegian musicians. Think about Virus, Umbra Nihil, Ephel Duath, and you´ll konw of what I´m talking about. In spite of the rare soundscapes, the album doesn´t make boring and can be heard very well. Give it a chance.
