I missed this one from earlier this year, and I'm glad I came across it, because it's a really good release. Ourang Medan hail from Brasil, and play face melting droned out Sludge Doom that's heavy on grooves and as slow as molasses. "De Ebúrneo Ossuário - Feral Responso" (which Google translated as "Of Ivory Ossuary - Feral Answer") is only two songs long, but clocks in at a little over 20 minutes, giving the listener enough sarcophagus juice to stew in while appreciating the disgusting filthy sludge riffs dripping from the tomb ceiling. There is some real nasty riffage going on here for sure.
This EP has a such a great mix/sound. The strings are low and detuned with that fat bloated corpse sound you would expect from a Death Doom band but it's done so savagely with the sickening ooze of sludge with the right amount of feedback as well. The wretched vocal stylings are just so spot on, and pierce through the mix forcing the living to tremble upon listening. I definitely think the first song is a little bit more somber than the second, with the second one giving off a more sinister vibe. Either way these drab anthems are capable of waking the dead, and that is why I highly recommend this release. Cheers! -Samir
