Univers Zero: “Rouages”
From the album The Hard Quest (1999)
Since the 1970s, the Belgian band Univers Zero has been forging an idiosyncratic synthesis of modern chamber music, pseudo-medievalism, and dark metal. This example evokes by turn parallels with Bela Bartok, Dead Can Dance, and Morbid Angel.
Another band working in a vaguely similar band is the equally remarkable outfit Art Zoyd. Both Univers Zero and Art Zoyd were associated with the “Rock in Opposition” (RIO) movement, a cabal of mutually supportive progressive/experimental bands active from 1978.
Played 65 time(s).
