One 55 minute long song divided into three parts, by a band with origins and members unknown (although I�ve read they�re American, but I can�t be 100% sure), that is said to utilize dead languages of ancient civilizations. That sounds mysterious enough to be intriguing, but unfortunately no information�s provided as to what civilizations nor languages are supposedly used. So it doesn�t deliver on the high expectations born by this utilization. Music wise it does however definitely deliver the goods.
A sort of drone-like funeral doom metal, reminding me quite a lot of Shape of Despair, but with a much higher drone aspect, and also with moments of ambience. These songs (and I say songs, not song) seems to be built around a repetitive notion, where elements are constantly added until it reaches a sort of crescendo, which slowly fades out into the next track. �Cause there is no real crescendo, just built up atmosphere that seems to wanna explode, but instead does the opposite and is inhaled again. The elements that are added can be anything from piano and keyboard to some form of tinkling that I can�t identify, but that gets me thinking of 80ies slasher and horror flicks. The riffing is slow and heavy, letting the drumwork take its full effect, where the deep growls are only sparsely used. It results in a quite bombastic album, that I have problems to resist. But as a listener you can�t be afraid of drone-like repetition, as you�ll probably just get bored instead.
