3/5 (RYM)
This starts extremely bad. Maybe I just don't know art or what they are going for, but the two first songs are just clumsy minimal pieces. Luckily there's also rhythmic industrial kind of electronic power in later songs. And Morris Dance and Carnal have nice polyrhythms. Otherwise nice dark minimal atmosphere, and not just minimal sounds but some more experimentation too. Odd in maybe bad ways too, but ok enough, and uncontrolled in nice scary and disturbing ways.
Relatively aimless, consistenly dark music with a metallic, gothic vibe. Forgettable moments are followed by gripping ones. Ends with a menacing ambient stunner.
