Hertfordshire’s doom-laden power trio, Orme, are back with their latest self released EP, “No Serpents, No Saviours” fresh off a seismic performance at DesertFest London. This release may not revolutionise the genre, but it firmly establishes Orme among the heavyweights of doom metal, standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Bongripper and Hundred Year Old Man.

Orme’s music is a journey into the abyss, narrating a world left dying and screaming in agony because of mankind’s ignorance and destruction – a world that even God has disowned leaving humans with no divine healer to pray to once the final tree gasps its last dying breath. Each track is carefully crafted as part of an epic, cohesive experience. Their signature lengthy dirges are more than just songs; they are monolithic soundscapes that engulf listeners in a profound, almost hypnotic state.

In “No Serpents, No Saviours” Orme distills this essence into a potent 24-minute offering, perfectly tailored for festival stages. The EP features three interconnected movements, loosely stitched together by samples from classic horror films, enhancing the ominous atmosphere. Engineered by the renowned Wayne Adams at Bear Bites Horse Studios in London, the production is as dark and heavy as it gets, with Adams also lending his talents on synths to add an extra layer of otherworldly menace.

Expect plenty of downtuned riffs that rumble alongside thunderous bass and psychedelic guitar solos that spiral into the void. The EP culminates in a third movement so thick with atmosphere, it feels like a descent into the underworld. Orme’s relentless pursuit of the perfect doom sound is evident in every crushing note, making “No Serpents, No Saviours” a must-listen for anyone seeking an unyielding and immersive doom metal experience that will leave fans of the genre eagerly awaiting Orme’s next move.

“No Serpents, No Saviours” is out on the 23rd August and you can Pre-Order it HERE
