'Cruising the Old World' - the debut from Outer Limit Lotus - out now!
It is a pleasure to present Oslo-based trio Outer Limit Lotus's first recorded material.'Cruising The Old World' consists of six ice-cold, dreamlike rock compositions - available digitally and on vinyl from today.
​
Drowned in reverb, constant dual vocals sketch paranoid, nightmare-ish hallucinations from a world on its way down. Cold spaghetti guitars are accompanied by an controlled, off-kilter rhythm section. This, packed into a noisy, almost psychedelic soundscape, is the essence of Outer Limit Lotus.
​
'Cruising The Old World' is a sonic glacier, melodic and catchy, but the lasting echo of the dark underground we know from the band members' other project, Haust, still lingers. It is fever-dream rock played with punk energy.
​
During 2016 the band has established a solid live reputation, with trance-like, ritual performances of their unique music. Outer Limit Lotus is for those who think that rock is at its best when it's dead.
​
The band consists of Henrik Øiestad Myrvold (guitars/vocals), Vebjørn Guttormsgaard Møllberg (bass/vocals) and Øystein Wyller Odden (drums/percussion). Vebjørn has also made the brilliant video for the track 'Cruising', which premiered on CLRVYNT a short while ago.
The release is produced by Pål Bredrup (Okkultokrati, Haust), Trond Mjøen (Haust, Haraball) and the band, and mastered by the eminemt Dave Eck (Lucky Lacquers).
​
"Norway is rewriting the book once again. (...) Think of the post-punk soundtrack to your drug-induced seppuku and you may get the picture. (...) an exercise in nihilism, self-loathing and touching the void."
