URNE

About

URN: Bludgeoning riffage meets progressive complexity in the sonic realm of Urne, the UK quartet forging a path distinct from metal's well-trodden ground. Marrying the guttural aggression of Mastodon and Crowbar with the expansive textures of Opeth, Urne crafts songs that are as intricate as they are devastating. Formed from the ashes of various underground acts, they solidified their presence with the critically acclaimed "The Mountain of Gold" (2021), a concept album that propelled them beyond the local circuit and onto international stages. Eschewing genre purism, they embrace dynamics, incorporating melodic passages and atmospheric breaks into their crushing sound. The band's lyrical explorations of existentialism and human frailty add another layer of depth to their brutal aesthetic. Urne is not content to simply deliver punishing metal; they aim to provoke thought and elicit emotion. Building on the momentum of their debut, Urne continues to refine their craft, pushing the boundaries of modern heavy music with their potent blend of aggression and artistry, showcased in recent releases and live performances across Europe.
