about

This unknown and almost unpronounceable project has been snapped up by Athanor after the original version was released as a 100 limited CDR (on some label called Black Dead Rabbit?!). Furnishing it with an official bio, it goes on to state “this was considered by us as the most important ‘dark ambient’ recording we have heard since Lustmord’s: The Place Where the Black Stars Hang”. Pretty big words you might say, now the question is: does this album come through with the good to back up such a statement? In a single sentence, I think this release falls just short of reaching the same breadth and depth of the aforementioned album, yet I do acknowledge that this is still a powerful recording. Forging forward from the outset with cyclic pulsations, track one sets the scene to make way for track two to take on a broader and more atmospheric frame that sweeps off into nebulous regions. Continuing on the building and evolving format, track three arrives as a mass of urgent partly, metallic sweeping atmospheric sound textures (and conjures up an image of a ancient monolithic generator positioned at the centre of the cosmos, that for unnumbered aeons has been powering the infinite expansion of the universe…). More brooding and catatonic, track four uses deeper more minimalist movements to create its atmosphere of cosmic resonance, including just a hint of melody and slow rhythmic percussive sounds (and to an extent actually reminds me of early Archon Satani). Spiralling pulses categorise the length seventh track, with the sound palate working on a vertical axis with its rising/ falling framework, again bringing visions of an idling archaic generator. However at around the five minute mark this track verges off into a panoramic styled soundscape with the whole atmosphere becoming increasingly urgent. On the eighth and final piece, with the use of slow echoes pulses & cyclic drones, it verges on an Inade like quality particularly when enhances with tribal-esque percussion in the final segment. Taken as a whole, this recording does a splendid job of evoking visions of the cold barren cosmos.
