about

Whoever is familiar with the works of Reto Mäder (Sum Of R, JeGong, RM74) should know what (or what not) to expect when diving into Ural Umbo‘s newest effort Roomer. And to make one thing clear, teaming up with Marko Neuman (Dark Buddha Rising, Sum Of R, Waste Of Space Orchestra, Convocation) surely didn‘t contribute to making it any more accessible. Roomer is a metaphor for a bodiless spirit in search of a nest. A nest or a room constructed with hypnotizing drum rhythms and instrumental complexity. A musical avant-gardist room with neither roof or floor, nor walls but just an unlocked door, welcoming the chaos of borderless perception by echoing voices in the language of the spirits. A sinister variety of plagued spirits inhabit Roomer, but don't be afraid to offer it a nest.

Blow Up (ITA): "It turns to a melange of spiritualism, dark ambient, distortion and voices from the medial flow that reveals clear affinities with both the abstract metal of Sunn O)))) and the cinematic settings of Goblin. Roomer is a holographic representation of horror."

Ghost Cult Magazine (USA): "Uncompromising music for those looking for sounds beyond the typical."

Veil of Sound (GER): "The second life of Ural Umbo after a near-decade long silence features project founder Reto Mäder and Marko Neuman starts with a bang – the new record Roomer will turn a lot of people’s ears inside out and will certainly stand out from the 2021 releases in its uncompromising attitude towards music and its making."

Never Mind The Hype (NLD): "Portishead meets funeral doom."

CVLT Nation (USA): "As I’m watching their video for "Dance Of Duality", the fuzzy electronics begin to dance their way up my spine, burrowing into my brain to whisper sweet poison into my ears..."

Enola magazine (BEL): "If you are open to it, you can immerse yourself in a psychedelic and bizarre universe."

Everything is Noise (UK): "Of all the things that would normally keep me up at night, I wasn’t expecting a song to overshadow all of that and make me feel even more deeply disturbed than I had already felt before. Listening along to “Landmarks and Tears”, the subtle yet equally prominent percussive elements creates such an emotionally crippling musical atmosphere. It makes me feel like everything around me is going to fall apart and there is not a damn thing I can do about it other than just let it happen".
