Spectral Haze â I.E.V.: Transmutated Nebula Remains
Rating: 4/5
Location: Oslo, Norway
Label: Soulseller Records
The classic rock sound has seen a pretty big resurgence over the last several years, and has worked its way back into heavy metal in a big way. Swirls of fuzzed out distortion, long improv-like jams, and old school sounding production, are all very hot right now, and Iâm loving it. Sure, there are plenty of bands with total Black Sabbath knock-off riffs, but there are also a lot of artists that are looking past the Godfathers of metal and delving into the realms of space and psychedelic rock. There seems to be a pretty heavy concentration of this ânewâ sound coming out of the Scandinavian countries, with Sweden and Norway producing bands like Lonely Kamel and Blues Pills.
Spectral Haze, from Oslo, Norway are right there in the mix, with a sound that mixes stoner doom with 70âs hard rock, 60âs psychedelic rock, and even some progressive rock tendencies. I.E.V.: Transmutated Nebula Remains is the bandâs first full length record, and I have to say Iâm pretty impressed with the diversity in sounds. Each track showcases a different take on doom metal, but Spectral Haze have that rare gift of being able to weave some pretty diverse sounds together into one tight-knit sound that is all their own. There are some pretty standard stoner riffs in there for the Sleep fans in the crowd, as can be heard on the opening track âI.E.V. I â Circumambulating Mount Meru,â as well as âI.E.V. II â Observing the Centre of Infinity.â The psychedelic aspects of Spectral Hazeâs music really show up on âMercurian Mantra,â which has some cool synthesizers that sound like a spaceship; the song is pretty upbeat, and has a bit of a progressive feel to it. Basically, imagine the sound Kadavar would make if they soaked up some Hawkwind along with their Sabbath and youâll get a pretty good idea of what Spectral Haze are all about. Thereâs even a bit of a 70âs punk rock moment, with âDescent Through the Intravoidalâ sounding like a mix between The Dead Kennedys and the faster material by Saint Vitus (who, for what is worth, also have show some punk rock tendencies).
My favorite track happens to be the longest one of the bunch, âTriads and Trishulasâ; clocking in at nearly thirteen and a half minutes, the song starts out with a droney doom feel that sounds like something off of an early 90âs Melvins record. Layered on top of the monolithic âGodzilla-stomping-a-mudhole-in-Tokyoâ sized riffs, though, is some jazzy, improv style lead guitar work that gradually builds in volume, before pushing the band into space rock/prog territory. Whatâs impressive is that the transition is so seamless you donât notice the change in tone until youâre hurtling towards the end of the song, and 13 minutes are now gone.
Spectral Haze show a lot of promise, and manage to make 45 minutes go by pretty quickly. I.E.V.: Transmutated Nebula Remains is a big grab bag of sounds, but manages to not spread itself too thin, which is no easy task, and is a testament to the bandâs chemistry. Spectral Haze are definitely a band worth keeping an eye on, I imagine they will be making a pretty good dent in the current psych-doom scene very soon.

"Denne Oslo-baserte frikegjengen har intervenert i de dĂždliges anliggender i en Ă„rrekke. Vi snakker ektefĂžlt spacerock, spekka av sĂžttitallsreferanser som seg hĂžr og bĂžr, men ogsĂ„ med tunge elementer av nyere metal og ikke minst noe helt eget Spetral Hazeâsk. I flere Ă„r har de forheksa publikum med det de kaller psyched out doom rock rituals, Demokasetter har florert i undergrunnen, i fjor kom den sjĂžltitulerte EPen â og nĂ„ foreligger altsĂ„ en innspilling i Tigers udĂždelige favorittformat: et fullengdes album. Med «I.E.V. Transmutated Nebula Remains» tar de nok et skritt ut i stjernetĂ„ka. Det er brutalt, storslĂ„tt, kaotisk og gjennomtenkt pĂ„ en gang.
Forestill deg en Kali-inkarnasjon med Hawkwind-patch saumfare giftplanteavdelinga i Botanisk Hage for Ä gumle entheogener; ca. sÄnn lÄter Spectral Haze."
Ukas album hos Tiger!

HÞrer gjennom vinylen nÄ og fÄr fÞlelsen av at alt er et skritt oppover fra EPen egentlig. Blir enda mer dratt inn i stemninga nÄ og produksjonen er meget kledelig.
