Estoner Post Video for “Teleporteerumine”; New Album out in April
Admittedly, I don’t know much about permutations of heavy in Estonia, but it would seem Estoner have the market cornered at least as far as monikers go. The Tallinn four-piece released their debut album, The Stump will Rise, in 2012 (they were a five-piece at the time) and next month they’ll return with their sophomore outing, Lennud Saatana Dimensioonis, which is reportedly an “audiovisual” album. As to what that means, I’m not 100 percent sure. Presumably it involves a host of videos like their new one for the second cut from the record, “Teleporteerumine,” which plays up their psychedelic side with a wash of color and manipulated video footage jumping from one shot to the next as the track plays out.
They wouldn’t be the first to undertake such a project, though it does give Lennud Saatana Dimensioonis an individual presentation to go with the band’s sound, which blends lysergic rock and black metal extremity into something molten and aggressive across “Teleporteerumine”‘s five-minute span. The Stump will Rise was hardly beholden to those two elements, and I’d expect that to be the case for the second offering as well when it arrives, but in its crunching tones, spacious-but-buried vocal echoes and emergent swirl, “Teleporteerumine” showcases a take that’s decidedly the band’s own as it plays out, switching melodies in and out and never losing its atmospheric depth as it pushes toward its thickened, tripped-out finish.
So far as I’m aware, Lennud Saatana Dimensioonis is a self-release, which is something of a surprise. With a style as bold as theirs is, they seem an excellent companion for the likes of Atomikylä on Svart or any other suitably adventurous purveyor, but perhaps their release method — that “audiovisual” thing again — is more suited to Estoner handling it themselves.
