Astral Burnout has a riff that melts my bones, but leaves my skin intact. The rest of the songs are good too.
Favorite track: Astral Burnout.
“The music is bold, heavy, strange, fuzzy, cerebral, psychedelic, and wild. It would be awesome to catch these guys on stage to see what parts of the music seem more improvised than planned. I bet they put on a great show.” - Sea of Tranquility
“...the five-piece troupe seem to actively work to defy the conventions of microgenre, instead honing a sound that is both aggressive and thoughtful, but without the pretense inherent in so much prog-tinged modern heavy.” - The Obelisk
“Dank, dark, heavy and atmospheric yet packed with a myriad of unexpected twists and turns along the way, ‘Sorge’ is an album that doesn't so much break all the rules as bends them into more interesting shapes.” - Desert Psychlist
“‘Argent’ does have a swampy and psychedelic atmosphere, but there’s a gut-gouging tone….The song, I should add, is also a bone-breaker.
‘Astral Burnout’ follows….The song sounds to me like a marriage between early Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin (the vocalist really does bring Robert Plant to mind), though with added ugliness in the guitar tone, and it’s capped by a hell of a guitar solo. Fantastic song.” - No Clean Singing
“Elements of the fertile doom scene that birthed Saint Vitus, Internal Void, Place Of Skulls, Earthride, Iron Man, and many others show through, however, SORGE's tunes reach far beyond said soil, infusing kaleidoscopic and ethereal elements into their sound.“ - The Screaming Ground
“...for such a young band, their debut Self-Titled four track EP shows maturity beyond their collective years.” - The Sleeping Shaman
