Very consistent at first, but later starts to drift away from its familiar path.
73/100.

I love records with gore-filled lyricism, this is just one of them.
81/100.

Has some catchy moments, but vast majority of it is repetitve bullcrap.
57/100.

I love the medieval chess thematics of the record, but the main focus on the atmosphere, leaves everything else hanging.
63/100.

Incredibly heavy and abrasive album, although one prone to brief stumbles.
71/100

The record can be felt like slowly sinking and fusing with the exotic and ethereal atmosphere of the album.
84/100.

Consistent record, nothing too outstanding, yet it holds well together.
69/100.

A solid post-rock record as it felt really fluid and simultaneously dissonant, without many fillers across its runtime.
76/100.

IT'S INSIDE YOU

This album is worth it for its abrasive yet simultaneously compelling approach, which gives the album a rough-edged allure that rewards revisiting. The project often wanders in search of innovative concepts and unconventional ideas, resulting in a record full of verve and determination, where no two sections ever feel alike. However, one of the main drawbacks lies in the abundance of ideas, which, while numerous and bold, often remain in a nascent form, never fully pushed ... read more

SCIENTIFIC DUB

Throughout the listen, a quixotic shape emerges, while ideas scattered and uncertain, which immediately casts doubt on coherence. From this uncertainty, whispered sounds surface briefly, but they vanish into textures that confuse more than captivate. These fleeting moments lead to words resembling a palimpsest, as layers pressed together yet mostly opaque, with meaning hidden beneath shadows. In contrast, certain concepts shine with faint spark, that offers occasional glimpses ... read more

CEREBRAL PURGATORY

One of the most striking aspects of this project lies in how firmly it locks into its core rhythm, that supports the record's brutality and heaviness. While the record flourishes, the sound thickens into a chthonic mass, with layers closing in and creating a suffocating tension. Whereas, certain concepts form the project's backbone, while chthonic rhythms build a crushing framework with mantric repetitions, that deepen its relentless drive, and jagged textures, ... read more

BALLOON MOOD

Immediately, the record opens up with a sparse and subdued tone that sets its mood from the very outset. As it unravels, the arrangements take on a light quality, with vocals aimlessly hovering above the instrumentals, as this approach offers a distant support to the album’s mysterious character. Though the record's unorthodox structural shifts may seem distinguished, this execution frequency wavers and reveals a subtle sense of inconsistency between tracks. Even so, ... read more

NO RITMO DA TERRA

What i certainly like about this project, is its ability to build itself around rhythm as a cornerstone, for the tracks not to collapse, while simultaneously letting each song to grow out of its percussive core. As it progresses, the sound takes on a telluric weight and refuses to stay at the same place, constantly roaming around unfamiliar patterns and dynamic surfaces. Whereas, at other points, the repetition becomes more incantatory, as it reinforces the album’s ... read more

DISINTEGRATION

The album vastly builds its impact through nocturnal, and hazy atmosphere, that corners the listener's attention into a immersive sound, from the outset. As it unfolds, a tenebrous tone takes hold, with lingering melodies, that add its own colour into the painting. As a result, the record's production takes hold of novel concepts and habitually wanders amongst them. Whereas, the pacing leans toward the plangent, that gives the music a sustained emotional pull, which is ... read more

POST RECOVERY

The record commonly settles into a specific soundscape circle early on and hardly ever steps outside of it. As a result the listening experience begins to feel monochromatic, with each song repeatedly passing by. In the moments when small shifts appear, they tend to feel incremental and asymmetrical, never quite centralising the record's chaotic direction. In its credit, production-wise it's detailed and cohesive, as the tracks slowly grow in impact and build their ... read more

MASSE MENSCH MATERIAL

The record demonstrates its uniform and deliberate tone, as this formula sets a governed pace that, without outpacing its innovations. As it progresses, the arrangements gain an austere character, that narrows their emphasis, while retaining a distinct trajectory. This approach allows the vocal performance and instrumentation to interact closer than ever, although sections feel somewhat ineluctable, unfolding with a rigidity and limiting variation. At the same time, ... read more

QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA

The album unfolds with a languorous pace, meandering between ornate parts, that feel baroque in their ornamentation. However, vast majority of ideas are drifting insubstantially, and are being erased, without leaving a pstep of impact. Amidst these twists, layers of instrumentation sometimes verge like a labyrinthine, folding in and out of each other in ways that challenge the listener's focus. Meanwhile, harmonic shifts are discordant, give a subtle unease to the ... read more

THE WARPING

On this album, the tracks move with sudden shifts and unpredictable turns, keeping the listener attentive and constantly intrigued. Although, certain motifs appear ephemeral, fading almost as soon as they arrive and leaving the track for another one. Whereas, layering conveys a subtle viscosity, that adds personality to each moment. While, occasional bursts create a quivering texture side by side with underlying patterns, which ripple gradually with its undulation, weaving a ... read more

KOMACHI

The album moves with a quiet and soothing atmosphere beneath its abstract texturing, as the album lets ideas unfold naturally, without any forceful choices. However, its severe leaning on repetition, usually leads to a dead end of the tunnel, as ideas increasingly start to copy one another, eventually turning the album into noise without impact. To its credit, a required patience gives the music a sense of depth and harmony. Although, the pacing and constistency can often be too ... read more

BEST URBAN TECHNICAL NOISES.

The record doesn’t sit still for long, jumping between jagged ideas and rigid patterns that feel both controlled and unstable. It leans into repetition, not as comfort but as pressure, letting small variations slowly reshape the tracks as they unfold. That push and pull gives the album its edge, though some sections feel underdeveloped, ending before they fully land. Still, the consistency holds, and the focus never slips for too long. It’s an engaging ... read more
