After only a few short years of actively recording and gigging, Urzah have set Bristol’s stacked heavy underground scene ablaze and captured the attention of Manchester’s beloved APF Records, home of Desert Storm, Goblinsmoker, The Hyena Kill, Video Nasties et al. Through a commanding and captivating album of complex and wildly fluctuating songs brimming with sharp melodies, Urzah will deliver a barrage of dynamic and intricate riffs boasting influences of post-metal, sludge, metalcore and moments of pure surprise.

»The Scorching Gaze« will contain 9 new tracks and has been produced and engineered by Phoxjaw guitarist Josh Gallop at his own Stage 2 Studios in Bath, with fiery artwork illustrated by Indonesian gig poster and album cover illustrator Putra Satria Nugraha.
»The Scorching Gaze« promises to be a brightly ambitious and rewarding listen that reveals new layers and intricacies through repeat listens, boldly striding its maze of blistering riffs, dynamic song structures and flaming intensity. Formed in 2020 just before the pandemic hit, Urzah have persevered to become an exciting live spectacle across the south of the UK. As early as their second live performance, Urzah supported US stoner metal heavyweights Bongzilla, and have also shared the stage with the likes of OHHMS, Grave Lines, Tuskar, Dopelord, Acid Throne, Made Of Teeth and more. The band have also appeared at Stoomfest, Abyssal Fest and reached the grand finale of Bloodstock’s Metal 2 The Masses.
