Xasthur - Nightmares At Dawn

As someone with only a passing familiarity with Xasthur I am probably the wrong person to be reviewing this album. "Nightmares At Dawn" is a compilation album with unreleased tracks, a Sabbath cover and a couple of redone Xasthur songs. As such this album is intended for fans of which I am not.

I can say however that while Xasthur seems to be a fairly good artist, this album of slow and depressive ambient Black Metal made me want to slit my wrists after a while as it is just way too fucking long.

Echoes of Yul – Cold Ground

14:55 0 Comments

Elongated drones with distant, scratchy voice samples that mutate around the tone are generally a brave introduction to a collection of recorded music. If however, the listener favours the innovative and the experimental, then “Octagon”, the first track on “Cold Ground” is stirring news. Echoes of Yul, essentially Michal Sliwa and Mateusz Czech, originate from Opole in Poland, and will challenge the listener with this latest release which can broadly be described as disquieting. “Foundations” is a writhing collusion of extended guitar riffs, drones and vocal samples that stalk the listener’s subconscious, upsetting them further with passages of dissonance and anguish.
