With riffs so thunderous they tear holes through
mountain peaks, URSA enchants in
the heaviest tradition of mystical sorcery, telling tales of animal spirits
forged from smoke that dissipates above ancient caravan campfires. With grandiose stories of wizards, dragons,
spiders, and demons; URSA is the
heaviest of bard, singing fascinating, barbarian tales of cutting human heads
off with one swoop of the steel and brewing complex potions out of dragonfly
wings.
URSA's monstrous
debut album is reminiscent of doom and heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Dio, Saint Vitus, Sleep, and Candlemass. The band's
sole purpose on earth is to serenade through tales of beasts risen and slain.
Consisting of ¾ of the legendary prog metal band
Cormorant, “Abyss Between the Stars” condenses all the
innate and heavy mastery of Cormorant into focused,
catchy, and powerful riffs that draw the listener in and empower them on their
journey through the untamed wild west. Pure doom to its core. A choose-your-own-adventure
tale in audio form, today at THE SLUDGELORD we can
exclusively present a brand new track for your ears only. Check out the great and the powerful, “Serengeti Veti” below as well as a
quote about the track from vocalist/bassist Matt Solis. Preorder a being taken (HERE)
“Serengeti Yeti” is definitely one of our
favorite songs on the record—it has a nice mix of traditional doom and progressive
rock/sludge, and the subject matter fits right in with our high-fantasy
aesthetic. It tells the story of an ancient yeti who, after fleeing from a
group of hunters, finds a mysterious vortex that hurls him into the middle of
the African desert. It’s your classic “fish out of water” tale…except this fish
wants to messily devour everyone in his path.
