Bootleg: “Orog Nuur” from Serpent Omega!

Six years ago Stockholm Sweden based Sludge Black Metal quartet Serpent Omega shared a simple rehearsal recording of a track called “Orog Nuur”. In May it became the first single from their sophomore album “II“, a deceptively simple statement, that builds from a plodding riff that lays the groundwork for magnificent tremolo-picked tribal bridge. Here’s both the album version and the rehearsal version in direct comparison. The album finally sees the cold light of day on 4th September and is available for pre-order here. We have a review of it appearing very soon…

Guitarist Jonsson explains: “This song got its name from a lake in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. Like nomads in a cosmic desert we were happy to find this portal to another dimension. But we got unexpected company and not even the flames can save us. There is no escape. They breed in fire.”
