Axis Mundi by TarLung
“Axis Mundi” marks the return of TARLUNG: Five years after the success of “Architect”, TARLUNG are back with eight tracks of heavy riffs, chugging rhythm and fierce growls.
“Axis Mundi” shows the world as it is today: Becoming more chaotic and more out of line every day. It ponders the question how one might maintain one’s sanity under such circumstances. Until one day the "Axis Mundi" bursts.
Once again TARLUNG unleashes nasty in your face sludge / doom, but doesn’t shy away from some more experimental features, and even moments of contemplation within the chaos – only to return with more honest brutality.

- Metal Underground: "»Axis Mundi« von TARLUNG ist ein Album, das die Essenz des Sludge- und Doom-Metal-Genres einfängt und gleichzeitig eigene Akzente setzt."

-Metalitalia: "Con fare pacato, i Tarlung puntano piuttosto alla costruzione di brani solidi – memorabili, per certi versi – in grado di mantenere sempre un approccio graduale e non forzato alla composizione."
