SPORTUrzah: A Tranquil Void UK Tour
Sunday, 28 June 2026
Urzah are a progressive sludge metal band from Bristol blending sludge, doom, post-metal and post-hardcore. Formed in 2020 just before the pandemic, the band quickly established their collaborative and productive writing style with the release of their self-titled EPs I (2020) and II (2022), laying the foundation for their evolving sound. Often compared to Neurosis, DVNE, Mastodon and Elder, Urzah combine abrasive punk and post-hardcore energy with atmospheric post-metal passages and soaring melodies to create their own brand of progressive sludge. "Doom-infused progressive metal of the highest order. Somehow thisquartet create a sound that's so massive it feels like it has its own centre ofgravity. Man, this band are sick!"~ Alex Baker > Kerrang! Radio "It is a constantly surprising, immensely satisfying listen that somehowmanages to combine genre-pushing experimentation with real classicmetal sensibilities. Urzah are destined for great things."~ Distorted Sound - 10/10 With Support from Monolithian and Reality Check
