Múr are the latest descendants of Iceland’s volcanic underground. The emerging quintet are forging a new era of dark, atmospheric and boundary shattering metal. With progressive sensibilities that recall Devin Townsend and mid-era Opeth, a talent to cohesively juxtapose atmospheric textures with polished technicality like Neurosis and Gojira, and a focus on jazz study, Múr is proving to be a force to be reckoned with, and their self-titled full-length debut, released via Century Media Records in November 2024, is inspired by film scores, the forces of nature, and electronic music.
