There are three tracks on this CD, but there are really only two songs as Narcosis is presented in two versions; one with English and one with Russian lyrics. There is only one original song, as the ending track is a Crematory cover. And with only one original song it�s quite difficult to decipher their sound and general quality, but as Narcosis is one fine-arse tune I don�t mind hearing it twice.
It starts off in a very demented way, which pushes my mental capacity to the limit, on the verge of letting go and fully embrace insanity. It might sound pretentious, but that�s really how it feels. The stark, bleak funeral doom is enhanced with some orchestral elements, giving it a very saddened atmosphere, that is driven right into the dirt, six feet under, by the powerful grunts coming at you. And in the background you can hear muffled sounds, which really enhances this desperation and feeling of choking claustrophobia. Sort of chugging, almost heavy metal-like, riffing accompanied by the slow, rhythmic drumming, resulting in a mix of the ultra-depressive funeral doom metal and a more classic sound. But the deep growls puts you into place with a brutal and wicked voice.
It�s really a bloody great song, and as I said I have no problems hearing it twice. The ending cover differs quite a lot from Narcosis, but I guess that�s to expect as the original artist isn�t exactly of the same genre.
