Rated: ****

Dö, the cosmos worshipping döömers from Finland are back with another adventure! Transversing the universe with their gripping metal powered by doom matter and thermoelectric sludge. Powerful, blackened and progressive. The eight tracks of the new album Unversum continue where Black Hole Mass and Astral Death Cult left off. Inspired by the Astral Death Cult ideology it’s forty five minutes of crushing and massive steamrolling ruckus. But there’s always a nuance here, a slide there, a solo soaring into planetary orbit and some ruddy groove to bring that demolishing metal into focus. Like a spark in the middle of the void, you suddenly hear all the details and see the glistening diamond at the abyssal depths of the fractal surface. It will shift as you listen, the edges and shapes shimmering with every guitar line changing, growing and evolving according to the precepts of their own cosmic and chaotic logic. There’s pure force radiating through it all, and that immediately becomes apparent after thirty second as you slide out of superluminal travel and into the drum section opening track Call Of The Supervoid. Blazingly hot, the entire album feels like Dö has found the way forward, and with it, the means to burst through the spacetime membrane and travel far beyond our known Unversum…
