Review on "Heathen Harvest Webzine"
We’ll start our look into the world of Urna with the first album of this trio to be released, “VII”, which was released on Clay Ruby (Burial Hex)’s now sadly defunct Skulls of Heaven label. There are two deities featured on this release whom both find a track dedicated to their presence. A rather obscure version of Moloch is pictured on the front of the release, fires burning, requiring a steep sacrifice, somehow resembling a gate, an entrance. The back is an interesting, ancient depiction of Iblis, the Islamic devil, surrounded by animistic jinns, signifying the arrival, the end of the journey. Two sides to an aural tome. The albums opens up with a whisper in “Awliya Ash Shaitan”, but the track quickly evolves into a multi-layered work featuring all levels of drones, several styles of tammorra, vocal tones and a multitude of light, atmospheric industrial noise. Iblis, which one would assume would be the most abrasive track on the album considering the subject matter, instead surprises with a multi-tone, shimmering drone that is backed in ethereal style by harmonium and textured by any number of potential stringed folk instruments. This isn’t a violent track, but rather an epic one full of a grandiose wave of pristine sound. “Tubal Kayin” seems to be a track in dedication to the Hebrew biblical figure Tubal-Cain who forged war weapons, a composition whose loud drone feels like it missed a chance to represent the character more realistically if it had been a clanking all-out industrial performance. “Moloch” is every bit as dark in tone as the deity is, and “Hyksos” follows it up with a folk-laden melodic performance, utilizing many stringed ethnic instruments and percussion giving it an Eastern medieval feel. This composition is easily the most complex and impressive on the entire album, a fitting feat as it represents an entire group of people whom began the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt around 1710 B.C. It should be clear by now that Urna’s music isn’t a simple effort towards creating intense dark ambient and industrial music — it is full to the brim of complexities, from the music, from spirituality, and from history.
