Tomas Järmyr is exploring the deep frequencies of metal. Using only cymbals, Järmyr creates a slowly rotating musical sphere that holds beauty, deep emotion, and fierce heaviness.
”Entrails” is an album that shows the core of his artistic expression and serves as the perfect introduction to Tomas Järmyr as a solo artist.
Born in Sandviken Sweden but based in Trondheim Norway, Tomas has toured and released records with bands such as Motorpsycho, Yodok and Barchan. In 2014, Lamour Records released the album No Way Black together with the acclaimed composer Eirik Havnes. Now Tomas is back at Lamour and we are proud to work with one of Sweden’s most skilled percussionists starting as a solo artist.

REVIEWS AND MEDIA COVERAGE
Indie Rock Mag
“Composé d’un seul et unique morceau de 38 minutes, Entrails passe par plusieurs mouvements successifs : crescendo de cymbales en échos, drone mystique et entêtant dont la résonance emplit tout l’espace, ambient aux percussions éparses sur fond de réverbération sans fin d’un coup de cymbale dans un no man’s land sonique, et enfin grondement de l’instrument jusqu’à la tempête sous un crâne. Vous l’aurez compris, c’est très atmosphérique, pas du tout le genre de disque que doivent s’imaginer de la part d’un batteur les férus de rock, metal et compagnie et ça tombe plutôt bien, ici on préfère l’immersion à la démonstration. Surprenant, et surtout captivant de bout en bout !”
