OSMIUM : Debut album out now
OSMIUM.
The experimental 4 piece of Sam Slater, Hildur Guðnadóttir, James Ginzburg and Rully Shabara have created a truly unique record which draws influence from folk, doom metal, 20th century minimalism and industrial music.
The end result is an immersive, hypnotic listen that rewards the listener with each successive play

“Menacing raw energy from experimental quartet…this collision of fissile noise shapers leaves scorched earth in it’s aftermath”
- UNCUT
“These are the sounds of industry or machines or machines as ritual… The whole album feels important, not self important, just important. Important art, a piece of work to enjoy, to explore, to be with, to maybe feel a little uncomfortable with, enclosed by, to feel very comfortable with…”
- Organ Thing
“Thrillingly alien…For all the scrapes and judders, it’s these elements that elevate Osmium’s work beyond the merely curious and propel it into the downright compelling: the ability to corral these strange mechanical sounds and wring from them something primally, achingly human”
- The Quietus
“This is a powerful album that gets more interesting, and important, every time you hear it.”
- CLASH
‘Where the primordial cutting-edge…invoking the spirits of ancient times…unstoppably industrial as it is shamanic”
- Record Collector
“A live, ritualistic workout that sounds like four players in a room sweating onto their instruments and pedalboards. And that's surprisingly refreshing - one to play loud, that's for sure.”
