Wulkanaz-Luftuz MC

Raw on the surface but psychedelically layered, Luftuz immediately sounds like WULKANAZ – and yet, it orbits its own strange galaxy altogether. Joining Ödegård is session drummer Calle Larsson, who played on OFERMOD's Mysterium Iniquitatis among others, and together do they passionately play a malevolently swirling, frequently bewildering plunge into the depths of madness - deeper than ever, in fact. Sounds seemingly explode from every direction, and what may sound like normal riffs or rhythms soon get tweaked into rude shapes, with hazy fuzz hovering over nearly everything, only to often get stripped back into startlingly skeletal quietude. Of course, black metal undoubtedly forms the base, but WULKANAZ characteristically exude an acute punkishness in execution, with the previously folkish melodicism taking a more ominous (and stomping) approach more often than not.
