Psych Minus Space
Control -- the deranged
fifth full-length from curious Norwegian black metal peddler FURZE -- is currently streaming in its
entirety, in conjunction with its release this week via Fysisk Format. Open the
gateways to all forty-three hypnotic, disturbing minutes encompassing the album
RIGHT HERE or below.
The latest
psychedelically-inclined blackened rock output from FURZE's primary solo artist Woe J.
Reaper and his close-knit team of henchmen have once again defied all
expectations and delivered an expectedly odd, intriguing collection of
unconventional blackened rock. Psych
Minus Space Control is now ready for public consumption in multiple formats
including digital download, CD and standard gatefold LP, and a special diehard
vinyl version of the LP bearing a numbered logbook limited to 200 copies. Check
out photos of the diehard version as well as an audio preview of the album
AT THIS LOCATION.
Following a long line
of releases including four previous LPs on labels including Candlelight and
Agonia, Psych Minus Space Control,
defies even the eccentric practices of past FURZE albums, more
rock/jam/broken-prog-oriented than ever, yet not without the usual oddities
evenly mixing up the entire production. Recorded in three different studios,
with sessions dating over ten years, the album contains material dating back to
1992. With over ninety percent of the LP lying in the vocal-free realms, FURZE transgress the borders of black
metal and classic psychedelic rock, evoking a mystic sensation of terror and
elevation, suggesting a musical archetype where the powers of Sun Ra, Hellhammer
and Black Sabbath come into one.
