Originally started as an extreme black / death metal project in 2003, Momentum evolved to excel at blending tactful post-rock atmospheres, reminiscent of Isis and Cult of Luna, with a Neurosis-esque level of bone-crushing heaviness broken up by soft singing and relaxed clean passages, intense vocal layering over discordant, staccato bursts and sheets of additional eerie sound textures that explode into high-impact power chords.

The band’s latest album, Fixation, at Rest, is a jaw-dropping affair showcasing a band that pays serious attention to transitions and dynamics, one fundamentally underpinned by psychedelic phrasing, with a decidedly progressive bent to their songwriting approach and tight musicianship that pushes them towards a sound of their own — its the little twists and turns, the wide range of vocal stylings, and also their gift for somber yet intricate melodies that sets Momentum apart from their peers.

Be forewarned: We have a confident suspicion that Momentum will rank among the unexpected highlights of Roadburn Festival 2014, as they are truly moving, just like those vast tectonic plates.
