Palimpsest by Polymorth
"pa·limp·sest (noun) - something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its earlier form."
Palimpsest is the first full-length release from Polymorth - the solo project of Oli Mortham. An experimental guitar-driven journey of genres, Palimpsest tiptoes along the boundaries between progressive metal, math rock, stoner rock, alternative rock and grunge, juxtaposed by dashes of ambient piano and electronica along the way. The album was put together over the course of one year between July 2022 and July 2023 at Mortham's home in Norfolk, UK.
