Primitive Man

Immersion
Relapse (2020)

Writing about music is a bit like being an anthropologist. The kind who immerses themselves in a culture to better understand it. Not the kind who comes up with whacked-out theories while staring blankly at the wall of the faculty lounge (or I guess now, their kitchen cupboards between Zoom classes). To really do a piece of art justice, you … Read more

Unearthly Trance

Stalking the Ghost
Relapse (2017)

To my mind Unearthly Trance was the act that truly defined the doom/sludge push of the '00s. Starting off with their debut album, Seasons of Seance, Science of Silence they displayed a claustrophobic, catastrophic drone induced version at a time where the push was towards the more fun side of doom/stoner.

Home Is Where The Hatred Is
Relapse (2015)

When listening to the debut album of Primitive Man, Scorn, back in 2013, one thing became perfectly clear about them: they are fucking serious about their music.

Interviews • May 1, 2017

Unearthly Trance is not your usual extreme metal band. Since day one, and the release of their debut album, they have been alchemically working towards their own unique sound. The break-up in 2012 might left some fans disheartened, but the release of Stalking the Ghost this year has definitely made … Read more
