Comment: heavy or light, new and old, predictable or totally unknown: the important here is the dynamic of the music. A continuous exploration of sound. This is a description of the imprint Vacu Sessions of which description is literally relevant to Narayana's whole as well. I could add one more sentence to it – this is blackened and even more blackened, occult and spiritual. Similarly to most of the releases on Vacu Sessions Narayana's one consists formally of one composition of different merged sonic facets. The listener can hear acute noisy outbursts and malicious fadeouts, horrendous reverberations and stealthy serpentine monsters to leap to your backyard. And heartbreakingly wailing women. Tectonic basses with low frequencies are varied with high-pitched sounds as if being vamped up by the debris from an abandoned junkyard. As if a soundtrack for a story of H.P. Lovecraft, a tribute to Ctulhu. I mentioned the word soundtrack and I did suggest it with proper intention because the main course is somehow cinematic, spookily cinematic. Masterfully horrible, skillfully epic.
