Search For Elite Heavy Albums 

Released: 2025 Genre: Avant-garde metal, Post-metal, Black metal Sounds Like: Cult of Luna, ISIS, SUMAC Homeland: Poznań, Poland What makes Uulliata Digir elite and sit atop OHMs Peak? Uulliata Digir’s self-titled album is a stunning debut and loaded with avant-garde heaviness that will be a sure-fire mainstay in your rotation. The contrast of the euphoric dousing of blissful trumpet coupled with dueling female (Julita) and male (Michal) vocals make for one of the most unique albums we have come across in a long time. The band’s song-structure is so imaginative and inviting. There are many jaw-dropping moments throughout the album. Case in point are Julita’s vocal despair and beauty, that will send chills down your spine. Track Listing: 1. Myrthys 15:36 2. Asea 0:40 3. Omni Dirga 6:47 4. Atti 0:41 5. Eldrvari 14:50 Dive deeper into this album with our Q&A with Uulliata Digir . OHMs Peak: Would love for a brief glimpse into your process and time commitment in making the album.   Uulliata Digir: Beginnings of this album go far back to 2019, when our guitarist, Marcin, and drummer, Krzysztof, first met and began casually jamming together. Over time, small pieces of the compositions started coming together and the sound became more defined and this is when the rest of the band joined in. That’s when the real work on the album began. From that point, it took us 3 years to refine the songs, layer the instruments and produce the final version. Mixing was a crucial phase. We had a clear vision of the sound we wanted but achieving it was complex due to the multitude of instruments and strong dynamic shifts. Much of the album was born from improvisation, while other sections were carefully composed with every note planned. At times the process felt endless—weekends of hard work with little visible progress. Other times everything fell into place naturally and we knew that we’re getting somewhere. And most importantly, we knew that we were creating something we couldn’t quite categorize but it sounded awesome and it was giving us a lot of drive to work patiently and trust the process to craft a sound that felt uniquely our own.   OHMs Peak: What was your most memorable live performance? Where was it held and why was the night so special?   Uulliata Digir:  Our first live performance was definitely the most unforgettable. The venue was completely unequipped—no sound system, no heating, a broken toilet, and, to top it off, the electricity cut out just 20 minutes before the show. We had to break into a locked room just to restore power. And after the gig, we had to pack everything up and clean the entire space ourselves. It was exhausting, but it was also magical. Inside the venue, we discovered these incredible statues that we placed on stage, and they perfectly complemented our aesthetic. The room was packed, the audience was amazing, everybody including us got kind of hypnotised. It felt like we all stepped into some distant place outside of reality. That night we got really close together as a band.   OHMs Peak: What band/artist NOT in your genre would you love to tour with that would most compliment your sound?   Uulliata Digir:  Phuture Doom would be an incredible fit - if you happen to be in touch with them, let them know we are ready! 😉 OHMs Peak: We would love any insight as to your current and upcoming tour plans? Uulliata Digir:  Right now, we are planning some ad-hoc concerts in Poland, polishing our show and proving the demand. As soon as we get more traction, we’ll be planning a full tour—so stay tuned! ;)   OHMs Peak: ‘Eldrvari’ is an absolutely groundbreaking closer with some of the most powerful contrast we have ever heard. Take us through the concept behind this track and how Julita channels such beautiful emotion and despair to close the track.   Uulliata Digir:  The entire album is a concept piece that tells a story—one that might have happened. It is a story about creation, care and trust, about a sin, a disappointment, a curse and a prophecy. About a cataclysm, war, death and sacrifice, about forgiveness, and new beginnings. It is a story of humanity but at the same time a story of individual souls. That’s why the contrasts are so extreme, and the emotions so intense - it is kind of a message that is flowing through us.   OHMs Peak: What does Uulliata Digir mean in English (our search leads us to ‘Pea Pods’ in Somali) but what is the polish tie-in and how did it come about?   Uulliata Digir:  We don’t want to reveal too much just yet, but we can say this: the name doesn’t come from Polish. It’s derived from ancient languages like Sumerian, much like the titles of our songs and lyrics. It ties deeply into the concept of our music and the stories we tell. Keep watching, and in time, you’ll uncover its meaning. ;). OHMs Peak: Uulliata Digir is stranded on an island with only a solar powered turntable and majestic powered solar blue tooth speakers. You can only choose one album. Which album to you agree to?   Uulliata Digir:  Our taste is eclectic so each of us would say a different one. Here is the list of 6 albums, each from one band member: -        Lateralus - Tool -        Mestarin kynsi - Oranssi Pazuzu -        Advaitic Songs - OM -        Oceanic - ISIS -        Balance - Van Halen -         Human 2.0 - Nasum Uulliata Digir are: Krzysztof Kulis (ex-Struggle with God, ex-Smoła) - Drums Marcin Tuliszkiewicz (In Twilight’s Embrace, Faust Again) - Guitar and synths Bartłomiej Kerber (ex-Heresy Denied) - Bass Magdalena Andrys - Trumpet Michał Sosnowski (Blast Rites) - Vocals Julita Dąbrowska - Vocals Follow Uulliata Digir : Bandcamp / Facebook Grab some Uulliata Digir Merch Music (vinyl, CDs, digital, shirts, etc.)

Released: 2025 Genre: Post-metal, Post-rock Sounds Like: Cult of Luna, ISIS, Codespeaker Homeland: Scotland, UK What makes Cleave elite and sit atop OHMs Peak? Originating from Scotland, UK, Beneath A Steel Sky offers a captivating post-metal sound. Their music is both intense and soothing, combining post-metal with layers of post-rock. The album's vocals enhance it with a combination of clean and sludge-like tones. This remarkable debut highlights their patience and depth, blending precise production with outstanding song structures. Beneath A Steel Sky deliver in a big way. It’s abrasively beautiful as we like to say. If you love Post-metal or just want to explore a more expansive side of metal, this album is a must. For a debut album, they bring their own style into this genre, making this a must have for vinyl lovers. Track Listing: 1. The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel 3:17 2. Vanguard 6:04 3. Everyone you've ever known 4:35 4. Quetzalcoatlus 6:245 5. The infinite silence that follows the absolute truth 7:16 7. Cyclical dunt 4:06 7. The becoming 7:57 Dive deeper into Cleave with our Q&A with Beneath A Steel Sky. OHMs Peak: Would love for a brief glimpse into your process and time commitment in making the album. Beneath A Steel Sky: Our debut album Cleave is an evolution of an earlier instrumental-only incarnation of the band that originated during the Covid19 lockdowns in the UK. The songs on Cleave started life as the next stage to this original project, with changes to the original lineup facilitating additional instrumentation (and a vocal approach). As such the framework recordings for the songs have existed now for some time, with the final structuring, polish and mastering happening towards the end of 2024. We undertook the recording and mixing of all instrumentation ourselves (with the exception of the drums, which were studio recorded), and the completed album was sent to Brad Boatright of AudioSeige for mastering.  OHMs Peak: What was your band’s most memorable live performance? Where was it held and why was the night so special? Beneath A Steel Sky: As a relatively new band we’ve only played a handful of gigs so far, including support slots with bands such as Shy, Low. Our most memorable performance however would have to be our album launch show at the end of January 2025. To see such a public appreciation for the music was a very uplifting experience. OHMs Peak: You show tremendous patience throughout this album. With songs like 'The infinite silence that follows the absolute truth' and 'Quetzalcoatlus,' you sound like a band that has been around for a decade. What previous projects has each band member been in prior to Beneath A Steal Sky? Beneath A Steel Sky: All members of Beneath a Steel Sky would (probably) describe themselves as seasoned, having all played (or currently playing) in one or more additional musical projects for a relatively long time. Currently the band features current or past members of (most noteably) Codespeaker, Iron Altar, Divide and Halo Tora.   OHMs Peak: The vocals on this album are stellar. The balance between sludge angst and the uplifting clean tones really elevates this album. Can you provide an insight into the how this came to be? Beneath A Steel Sky: The vocal ethos for this band was always about creating textural additions to the music with different vocal colourings, rather than presenting the music as vocal-fronted. We aim to treat the vocal parts in the same way we approach guitar and synth melody. The range facilitated by the 3 singers in the band also allows for exploration of all aspects of vocal performance, from glassy harmony-rich clean vocals to claustrophobic doom. On Cleave, we’ve attempted to make use of this only when most appropriate for each song.  OHMs Peak: The album art is very intriguing, and has this post-metal/industrial feel. Is there any meaning behind this? Beneath A Steel Sky: We’d intended for the artwork accompanying our music to further flesh out the feeling of the universe created through the themes expressed in the songs. It was intended through subject matter and colour choice to convey an environment that is both austere and dystopian, yet also strangely familiar. The visuals should (hopefully) form effective companion pieces for the music. OHMs Peak: What band NOT in your genre would you love to tour with that would most compliment your sound? Beneath A Steel Sky: We'd love to tour with someone like Massive Attack or Boards of Canada, we'd hope that some of our more ambient sections would work with their fans. OHMs Peak: We would love any insight as to your current and upcoming tour plans? Beneath A Steel Sky: We are currently planning some UK dates for later in 2025. OHMs Peak: Your band is stranded on an island with only a solar powered turntable and majestic powered solar blue tooth speakers. The band collectively can only choose one album. Which album to you agree to? Beneath A Steel Sky: So we couldn't come to an agreed answer to this question, and the fight over it would probably be the end of the band. We did manage to narrow it down to Mastadon's Crack the Sky, and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Potentially played at the same time to keep everyone happy.
