about

"Just a few months after "The Syncretic Labyrinth" this Spanish project returns with a release which confirms the quality of this project. While in the previous release the black metal influence was under the curtain of experimental music, this release shows more clearly this reference as there's even vocal and a more defined song form in certain parts of this album which, however, is closer to a single piece in seven parts than a collection of tracks.
The masses of violins of "Lucid Nightmares" introduce a listener into a sound field where movement is generated by the overtones and some small noises in the background so it could be a little too long and requires a reasonable high volume to be fully appreciated. "Mirrors of Ignorance" is instead a more constructed and atmospheric track as the various sounds are immersed in silence while the second part is a slowly moving line of synth. "Pale Old Gods" oscillates between quiet synth movements and dark moments of noise where the black metal influences emerge clearly. While the first and third part of "Age of Vice" are based on a sort of lied for piano, guitar and growl vocals the second and central part is a thick soundscape for low frequency drones. After some seconds of silence "Shapeless Flame" erupts in a mass of feedback which has a resolution in "Abhorrent Breeding" with his mass of sustained tones of synth that, after some second of silence, introduce the listener to "Abortion" whose quiet and almost psychedelic developments accompany the listener towards the end of this release in an almost dreamy atmosphere as a sort of relief after a nightmare.
More focused than his predecessor even if plagued by a production somehow a little too blurry or unbalanced in volume in certain moments, but this is a standard for the genre, he gives the impression that there's more to come from this project. Highly recommended for fans of weird black metal.

p.s.: there's also space for an unlisted bonus black neofolk track."
