Golden Core - Kosmos Brenner (2024)

The third album from this band from Norway.

The band is a duo with a lineup of theremin, percussion, drums, bass, guitars, organ, piano, synths and vocals.

Some guests added woodwinds, organ and vocals.

This is another Norwegian band who has been flying below my radar for the last five years. It is my understanding that their first two albums were stoner rock albums. 

Kosmos Brenner is something altogether different...

Take black and viking metal, add industrial metal, a bit punk and some stoner rock. Then add some heavy metal.

The music on this forty minutes long album is very brutal throughout. It also has a great avant-garde feel. It is indeed avant-garde metal, the genre we can put this album in.

Some brutal vocals also adds brutality. 

The quality is decent to good throughout. This is one of the better new brutal metal albums I have encountered this year. Check it out.
