REVIEWS for "GEISTERSTADT" REVIEW ON METAL NEWS Zu allererst fällt das gelungene Artwork mit seinem düsteren Cover in Sepia-Tönen auf, das ein stimmungsvolles Abtauchen in die Klangwelt von OMEGA MASSIF ermöglicht und den Hörer gleich mit dem Opener „In der Mine“ in die buchstäblich tiefsten Abgründe und Minenschächte zu führen scheint. Herausragende, rein instrumentale Songs, die sich unterstützt durch die druckvolle Schlagzeugarbeit zu einem schlüssigen Ganzen zusammenfügen und ausgewogen zwischen brachialen Riff-Wänden und düsteren, beinahe psychedelisch schwebenden Melodienbögen agieren, bestimmen konsequent das Bild auf „Geisterstadt“. Natürlich bahnen sich somit automatisch Vergleiche zu Bands wie PELICAN [zu ihren besten „Australasia“-Zeiten], ISIS und YEAR OF NO LIGHT an, jedoch kreieren OMEGA MASSIF für einen Erstling erstaunlich eigenständige Klänge. Songs wie „Nebelwand“, „Unter Null“ und das tolle „Arcanum“ vermögen trotz ihrer jeweiligen Spielzeit von annähernd zehn Minuten zu überzeugen, und genau dies zeichnet eine reine instrumental agierende Band um so mehr aus, wenn die Lieder auch ohne Gesang stets die Spannung aufrecht erhalten können. Bisweilen hat man das Gefühl, Bilder vor Augen zu haben, in denen man sich langsam durch scheinbar endlose Stollen und Tunnel voran tastet, sich aber immer weiter verirrt, bis jegliche Hoffnung auf einen Ausweg schwindet. Aus manchem Gang ertönen Geräusche, jedoch verstrickt man sich immer weiter im [Klang-]Labyrinth der Mine – bis der ersehnte Ausgang letztlich doch auftaucht, auf den man zutaumelt, wie der Up-Tempo-Beat im abschließenden und treffend betitelten „Exodus“ zu suggerieren scheint, und der einen abschließend noch einmal die trostlose „Geisterstadt“ erblicken lässt.OMEGA MASSIF haben mit ihrem Debüt eine bärenstarke Scheibe komponiert, die internationale Vergleiche nicht zu scheuen braucht und die über die komplette Spielzeit hinweg zu überzeugen vermag. Allen Fans der oben genannten Bands und von instrumentalem Post Hardcore/Doomcore allgemein sei „Geisterstadt“ hiermit wärmstens ans Herz gelegt. Ich bin ehrlich gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen, was es in Zukunft noch von OMEGA MASSIF zu hören geben wird. Ganz großes Kino! REVIEW ON CRUCIAL BLAST A stunning debut from this German quartet, Geisterstadt ("Ghost Town" in German) weaves a tale of ancient abandoned silver mines, treks through deep mountain tunnels, and forsaken boom towns illustrated through Omega Massif's massive instrumental metal. Slow and brooding, the songs on Geisterstadt bring flurries of soaring melodic guitar lines to elephantine riffage descended from Pelican's Australasia and a dustbowl ambience that sounds like what Earth's Hex mighta sounded like if Dylan Carlson had injected that album with a high level of chugging saurian metalcore. The voiceless nature of the music turns the focus on pure atmosphere, and they deliver it, layering the pulverizing repetitive metalchug with a sense of gloom and longing that becomes near-suffocating at times, but there are also lots of gorgeous ethereal melodies that remind me of Year Of No Light - not too surprising then that this album came out on Radar Swarm, the French label run by Johan from Year Of No Light and home to a host of amazing, arty metalcore/"post-metal" bands like YONL, Spinning Heads, Gantz, and Cortez. Sure, Omega Massif are following fairly closely in the footsteps of bands like Pelican, Year Of No Light and Isis with their debut, but their mix of meditative, epic ambient rock and destructively heaviness is so perfectly rendered that I can't get enough of this album. The last track "Exodus" in particular is a scorcher, shifting between crushing percussive riffage and wobbly Loveless-esque guitar float that ends in a lethal metalcore breakdown. Quite the burly closer. This disc also has some great artwork, the packaging depicting sepia-toned photographs of ghostly abandoned mining towns. OMEGA MASSIF was founded in SEPTEMBER 2005. The first demo "kalt" came out on December, 28th 2005 it is SOLD OUT. visit http://www.omegamassif.de for mp3s! If you are interested in running shows with us, please write us a message! Thanks!
