Starting off as an extreme black/death metal project in 2003, Iceland’s Momentum evolved to excel at blending tactful post-rock atmospheres, reminiscent of Isis and Cult of Luna, with a Neurosis-esque level of bone-crushing heaviness broken up by soft singing and relaxed clean passages, intense vocal layering over discordant, staccato bursts and sheets of additional eerie sound textures that explode into high-impact power chords.
Momentum is a Reykjavik based band that started back in 2003. With roots in black/death metal their music is best described today as Progressive doom, surreal and psychedelic metal. The Freak is Alive is Momentums fourth album.
