biography
There are few bands right now who have the ability to create riffs as gigantic as Urne. Despite it not even being two full years since their emotional sledgehammer that was A Feast On Sorrow, the clamour for new music has been in play for a good while.
Blessing us with not only a brand new track in ‘Throes Of Grief’ but also a cover of Black Sabbath‘s classic ‘I’. For ‘Throes Of Grief’, the band have recruited Avatar (who they spent a good amount of time on tour with last year) guitarist Tim Öhrström to add his voice and powerful guitar work to the track. The result is a hefty slab of emotive modern metal, clearly influenced by the band they cover on the other track but also bearing the group’s signature sound. Joe Nally’s voice is as grandiose and wrought with pain as ever, which lends itself well to the Sabbath cover. It’s clear from the amount of effort and love put into the track that this is a piece of music that means a lot to Urne. The two pieces together, metal’s past and future show that there is definitely something to be excited about in the coming months for the British metallers.
