dark and brooding but at the same time intensely memorable. vocal performance is phenomenal. has a Mare meets Sumac vibe to it
Favorite track: This is the End of Everything.

I consider myself a Hypaethral Records aficionado lol. I legit have most all of their releases and for good reason: Total quality control on nearly every album. I missed out however on Omen Astra over the past years spent in the pit haha but this is another winner. If Cult of Luna and Sumac are your thing mixed in with tribal beats, check out the epicness of "The End Of Everything." Great shit.
Favorite track: Who's Been Painting My Roses Red.

"The End of Everything is, in a word, epic. An energizing blend of sludgy churn, hardcore grit, the apocalyptic menace of Neurosis and the more intricate songwriting sensibility of Minsk" - Treble Zine
www.treblezine.com/omen-astra-end-of-everything-album-stream/
Omen Astra draws from the atmosphere of Post-Metal and the crushing weight of Sludge, pushing far past the boundaries of those subgenres to create something dark, expansive, and wholly unique. Like a modern mandala, Omen Astra will bring you into a trance-like state, awash in the universality of heaviness.
The first single, “False Gods”, is an exploration into the vastness of heavy music that blends the complexity of Gojira with the detuned sludge of Sumac. Vocalist Christopher Gray (ex. The Black Maria, New Day Rising) transitions seamlessly from guttural screams to aethereal melodies reminiscent of David Bowie. A juxtaposition of the grotesque and the beautiful that will stick with you long after you listen.

I got this slab of greatness when I purchased a cd from the label,just love how much care and attention that they put into the packaging,artwork! Morbid Evils,this is amazing!Crushingly heavy,atmospheric,relentless,I think the comparisons to Thou and Primitive Man are spot on! Thanks to Transcending Obscurity for this! Michael Carter

Merci Déhà for the download code. Lots of bands use these ingredients – pretty female vocals over doomy guitars always sounds good, but usually that's where the ideas run out. That isn't the case here. Each song is packed with ideas and evolutions, genres and references it's boring to list but not at all to listen to. A pleasure to have been introduced to this. Luke
