BIO

Berlin-based instrumental post-metal/doom band rr has carved out a unique space in the genre by balancing crushing heaviness with haunting atmospherics. With their third full-length album, “dislodged”, the trio has refined their sound to its most powerful and evocative form yet. Moment Of Collapse Records will release this album on CD, Vinyl-LP and digital format.

Post-metal and doom often lean either into ethereal ambiance or relentless heaviness, but rr masterfully bridges the gap. Founded in 2018 by guitarist Marius Jung, the bandnow consisting of Jung, bassist Florian Fricke, and drummer Eric Knoophas always sought to fuse pounding rhythms and intricate riffs with immersive atmospheres. With “dislodged”, they have fully realized this vision.

From the very first track, “dislodged” envelops the listener in a swirling storm of sonic textures. Each song builds tension through hypnotic, layered guitar work before exploding into crushing crescendos of distortion and thunderous percussion. The dynamic interplay between the instruments creates an almost cinematic experience, as if the music itself is telling a wordless story of struggle and resilience.

Despite its heaviness, the album is not without moments of fragile beauty. Ethereal melodies weave their way through the dense instrumentation, offering fleeting glimpses of hope before being swallowed by the abyss once more. This delicate balance between despair and catharsis is what sets rr apart in the post-metal landscape.

“dislodged” is an immersive and deeply affecting listen, solidifying rr as a standout act in the genre. Fans of Russian Circles, Cult of Luna, and Amenra will find much to appreciate in its masterful blend of atmosphere and aggression. With this album, rr has fully refined its musical identity a sound that lingers in memory long after the final chord has faded.
