Finnish atmospheric sludge/doom band LURK boast of a fitting Adam Burke artwork for their varied yet mesmerizing music. Their style is unlike most you've heard - it's obscure, hallucinatory and strangely haunting. They're not trying to bludgeon you into submission; they take a subliminal route almost to break you down and get you addicted permanently. Listen to one of their songs on Bandcamp HERE:

Wistful and mysterious, LURK's music is just as interesting and multi-faceted as their cover artwork. Blending elements of doom, black and death metal into their astounding sludge template, the Finnish band is taking the sound ahead in ways hitherto unheard. Haunting, soaring melodies juxtapose with abrasive low-end riffs without hampering the overall aesthetics. Watch the band take you into a slow, hallucinatory descent towards madness where multiple worlds coalesce and still make sense - that in a nutshell is the music of LURK.
