Julian Percy, Jon Evans, John Murphy - Last Dominion Lost (2012)




9.5

/Electro-acoustic, Avant-metal, Noise rock, Ambient noise, Avant-garde, Brutal metal, Psycho-acoustic, Sound art, Experimentalism, Noise/

Comment: this bundle of 6 compositions is a sultry blend of chirping noises, signal-based frequencies, and suggestive pitch effects and phase changes below and overhead. Sometimes the soundscape is carved with the assistance of distorted voices and clattery drums and thudding bass vibes, however, changing its situation into a quite clinical case. Even an instance of ambient progressions is represented within it (of course, it is made up in their own mode of expression). In a word, at times the whole used to sound in a mesmeric way, sometimes in a more straightforward way, though, being uncompromisingly idiosyncratic throughout the course. By kindred souls the combo can be compared with the likes of Interlard, and Hella. Truly extreme indeed.
