Review
Legendary Psych/Space/Stoner Rockers The Spacelords return with their ninth album Uranus Omnibus Sanctus and it’s gloriously trippy and progressive as their previous albums. The Spacelords explore aquatic themes amongst their spaced out musical adventures with a precise technical level of prog rock running throughout the album. The organs and synths have a life of their own set against the thunderous Stoner Rock melodies which oozes vivid Seventies Rock creativity which you can hear from the very onset of the stunning opening title track.
The Spacelords add deft touches of Ambient Rock and Post-Rock into their music which gives their sound quite a spicy mix of aggression. The music flows at its own pace with sudden outbursts of sludgy melodies and classic rock structures developing with a great storytelling narrative leading the way once more. Uranus Omnibus Sanctus feels like that The Spacelords have been reborn in some both musically and creatively speaking as this is the most confident and heaviest I’ve heard from them in quite some time.
Second track Survive To Win opens with a stripped back low-key sound which is very abstract and flirts between Seventies Rock and Eighties Synth driven scores which does offer quite a cinematic based energy.The music settles down for that classic sound The Spacelords are known for with Blues Rock and Space Rock themes combining for a mammoth instrumental jamming session where the band only offer the listener a few seconds here and there to catch their breath. The song is quite jagged on the later stages with some small areas of distorted grooves transforming into a complex maze of Stoner Rock passages.
Uranus Omnibus Sanctus allows The Spacelords to include elements of Eastern Soundscapes into their music which makes the whole thing even psychedelic with a great laid back atmosphere appearing when you least expect this. The jazzy interludes allow The Spacelords to showcase their awesome technical ability which you can’t help be amazed by.
The final two tracks Whales and On The Verge Of Delirium are some of the best music that The Spacelords have written in years with some of freshest jams, intense and heaviest psychedelic surroundings you’ll hear this year. The record brings in a gloomy Drone and Doomed Out Post-Rock direction within the opening stages on Whales which slowly builds up that eerie aquatic atmosphere before exploring the different levels of Psychedelics before exploding into different strands of Heavy Rock.
Uranus Omnibus Sanctus is a masterclass of modern day psychedelic music and is about as close to perfection you can possibly get if you’re a die-hard follower of the Space Rock scene and The Spacelord themselves.
