Comment: undoubtedly this 7-track issue is one of the most peculiar ones I have encountered within recent months. Given that the issue comes out of the imprint Torn Flesh Records hip-hop as a partial way to create music was a quite huge surprise. In truth, Shea Bilè represents his cryptic, diabolical yet somehow lofty lyrics by rapping and chanting intermittently. At times his side is accompanied by operatic female singing. The rest part of the formula is more conventional if it could be possible to say in this way – neoclassical ornaments and darkwave-esque carvings are up there to veil the whole with the more murky curtain. By listening to it one should admit that a human being is the biggest enemy to herself/himself. One searches for redemption to get rid of nothing. Yeah, it is our obligation to create values and comply our duties but there is a danger to get overstretched for the sake of Nothing.
