Urna
Iter Ad Lucem

The year was 2009 when Urna, a band from Sardinia, bolstered by their contract with ATMF, released “Iter Ad Lucem,” a devastating album that is undoubtedly one of the best  Doom records of the last decade.

“Iter Ad Lucem” is complete darkness concentrated in seven hymns, it's a dark world populated with shadows and indelible nightmares, it's a funeral march that creeps into the brain. “Iter Ad Lucem” is the best Urna could conceive. This is an album that delivers Doom without compromises, without sugar-coating, here every note is a boulder, every passage is devastating, every single hit on the drum skins is a jolt to the heart. Urna succeeded where most Doom bands fail; they gave form to a purely annihilating sound  without needing a metronome set at 10 bpm and without getting lost in useless ambient digressions that lead nowhere. Urna knows what they are doing and they see it through to the end, playing with great mastery and showcasing mature and calibrated songwriting, gifting us this gem that undoubtedly has not gone unnoticed by lovers of the genre.

 Urna is Doom, take it or leave it.
