The Review:
While
technically billed as an EP, this single track of unsettling ambience spans 40
minutes, thus making it a full length release in my eyes. Naturally, it is
rather difficult to review such a piece as this. There are no hooks. There are
some riffs. There is sound, mood, texture and production to home in on.
That
being said, I can look at the piece as a whole or as movements... The three
part title suggests the latter, perhaps. Certainly, the two piece have conjured
up a sinister series of soundscapes with violin, percussion/drums, guitars and
other more abstract sounds. Just before the nine minute mark comes the first
recognisably “metal” section- don't expect Cannibal Corpse- but of course the track moves
forward from there beyond the distant vocals and layered strings. There are
some VERY doom laden sections here, too, which fit well with the ambient and
black material on offer.
Essentially,
your interest in this type of thing will be piqued if you like the above description.
If you don't like ambient/black metal/doom with a very avant garde approach,
you probably won't enjoy this. However, if you want something very different,
very unsettling and, yes, very heavy: this is for you.
