Furze are a band from Norway that has had one of their previous albums reviewed before in this zine with a musical style that I would describe as being occult black metal mixed with some doom metal and psychedelic rock and this is a review of their 2012 album "Psych Minus Space Control" which was released by Fysisk Format.
Drums range from slow, mid paced drumming with not much in the way of fast playing or blast beats, while the sound effects and synths bring in psychedelic space rock elements to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very strong and powerful tone with black/doom metal riffing that dominates throughout the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffs that combine the darkest elements of black, doom and classic rock together along with some dark sounding melodies being thrown along with some weird distorted parts into the riffing in addition the songs are very long, while the lead guitars when they are utilized are very distorted sounding guitar solos and leads, as for the acoustic guitars when they are utilized they use full chords to add another dimension of darkness to the music.
Vocals are all grim sounding and high pitched black metal screams when they are utilized as well as a brief use of clean singing being utilized on the last song which is rare since most of the music is improv and instrumental, while the song themes cover Luciferian, Occult and Psychedelic themes, as for the production it has a very heavy and dark sound to it.
In my opinion this is another great recording from Furze and while it might be a little too experimental for the more hardcore fans< I still feel this is a great recording and if you are a fan of experimental improv black/doom metal you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Occult Soul, With Mind" and "Triad Of Lucifer". RECOMMENDED BUY.
