A long seven years ago we prepared a feature called “Where Doom Meets Death“. One of the bands we spotlighted then was Organ from Belluno, Italy, and their extensive EP Eterno. We summed up the music as “massive, mountainous, megalithic music, and equally immense in the scale of its bleakness” — “both crushing and celestial, mortifying but mesmerizing, apocalyptically desolate yet also delirious, reaching frenzies of intensity that seem to straddle the line between shattering grief and the rapture of being burned by holy fire.”
Eterno was indeed a stunning release, and left us looking forward to what the future would bring for Organ. It has been a very long wait, but at last Organ are returning, with a new album named IMMOBILISM that will be released on April 8th through Invisible Order Records. In addition to helping announce this eagerly anticipated event, today we’re premiering one of the new album’s five nightmarish tracks — “DOGMA“.
It’s more than fair to say that the last seven years have done nothing to moderate the intensity of Organ’s music. “DOGMA” is immense in almost every way, very much like the looming, fearsome mountain on the new album’s cover. It pounds and punishes, sends up brazen and blazing fanfares of sound and extravagant melodic streamers, and the guitars also ruinously quiver and wail.
The force of the song’s staggering low-end blows seems heavy enough to open up fault lines in the Earth’s crust, while the piercing manifestations in the song’s stratosphere are both wondrous and unnerving, like tormented apparitional presences convulsing in spectacular pain, throwing off lightning flashes as their seizures take them.
The song slows and heaves, groans and drags, though the drum-and-bass strikes are still fracturing, and as the music staggers ahead the guitars’ glittering chords and wailing arpeggios begin to sound even more stricken and depleted, until they fade away in ruin.
You’ll notice we’ve made no mention of vocals — because there aren’t any, and we venture the guess that you won’t miss them. The power of the instrumental music is transfixing all by itself.
