Release Notes:
ORTÆs new album ôMaschinenhafen" is an album beyond all today's listening
habits. Two songs (one song per vinyl side) of instrumental unpretentiousness.
The album will be released digitally and on vinyl via My Proud Mountain Records.
ORT is a trio from Dortmund, Germany, founded some time before the pandemic. The
initial plan of the guitarist also known as Drone Master Solo Artist ôNö who
played shows all over Europe and the drummer with a notorious past of backing
the loudest and most abrasive bands in town was to start some sort of
cooperation on the more experimental, electronic side of things.
For some strange reason that plan changed to sweaty, loud practise room jams and
led the formation to a full-fledged band, drawing from Doom Metal and Noise-Rock
influences among many other styles of creative interests and musical listening
habits.
"Maschinenhafen" is ORTÆs second album and their first in coorperation with My
Proud Mountain. ?
In order to capture their raw energy rather than puzzling together something
artificial ORT recorded "Maschinenhafen" by playing live together at the
well-respected studio "Tonmeistereiö in Oldenburg.
Consisting of two long instrumental compositions, "Maschinenhafen" showcases a
side of ORT, which you could call their most epic and atmospheric approach to
date, yet the two pieces also march through passages of fierce vehemence and
noisy weightiness.
Or to put it another way: trace elements of the early Earth can probably be
found in ORT's sound and style. A similarity to the dystopian aura of Killing
Joke, and the instrumental lack of labels of a band like Blind Idiot God is no
longer that far away from uncompromising Sleep's ôDopesmokerö.
