Put me into a trance.

Struck me as North African music (not that I know anything about NA music!). The opening track is one of those noisescapes, then structured pieces emerged. The middle of the show, the drummer really kicks ass! Don't know which drummer this is. The middle pieces started to sound pretty catchy, too.

Although a guitar can certainly play quarter steps by bending, it sure can't by means of frets!

Great tip, they're very nice, lots to explore on their BandCamp. They have a dorman fb page which describes their evolution:

Our musical style has changed from album to album.

Usssy (2009) black metal techno blues

Oko (2010) epic oriental black noise rock

Ud (2011) courageous oriental noise rock

Karpet Birch (2012) cover lo-fi noiserock

Afghan Music House Party (2012) microtonal melancholic noise rock

Unsharped Mask (2013) microtonal melancholic noise rock

Voyage(2018) desert noise rock

Po Krugu (2020) diverse oriental noise rock

Naghma (2022) indo-iranian meditative feedback rock

So far I like all I hear, whatever category it might be (personally I would maybe say post-postrock/math, with little echoes of Horse Lords, who are from Baltimore).
