Årabrot, the Norwegian noise rock outfit, returns with "Our Time Is Fix'd," a compact yet intense journey through the darker realms of sludge metal and experimental rock. Released on December 13, 2019, via Pelagic Records, this 31-minute album is a testament to Årabrot's ability to blend raw, abrasive sounds with haunting melodies and atmospheric depth.
The album opens with "Die Nibelungen - Lustmord Rework," a track that sets the tone with its heavy, crushing riffs and dissonant harmonies. The rework by Lustmord adds an extra layer of darkness, creating a sinister and immersive soundscape. Following this is "The Sharp Edge - Andrew Liles Rework," which showcases the band's versatility as they navigate through intricate, chaotic soundscapes.
The final track, "Paralipomenon," rounds out the album with a sense of foreboding and unease, leaving the listener with a lingering sense of dread. Throughout "Our Time Is Fix'd," Årabrot delivers a powerful and unrelenting sonic experience, making it a standout release in their discography. Fans of noise rock and sludge metal will find much to appreciate in this intense and captivating album.
