Comment: this 3-notch outing is a part of the Russian imprint ΠΑΝΘΕΟΝ (otherwise Pantheophania) which has issued such artists as Tim Six (btw, the founder of the imprint), Somniorum, EugeneKha, Alineko, Desolated Horizons, Creation VI, SiJ, Free Tibet, Dvory, Nemertis, XPAAM among others. Voies is an instrumental outing with epic heights reaching guitar flow and undulating cellophane-alike hisses backing it up. Guitar is the central instrument which is played with varying accents at times getting impulse from post-rock and ambient rock, however, more ominous growling loans obviously a bit from within post-metal/doom-laden metal and darkgaze. It might be proper to call it progressive shoegaze because the former element cannot be rejected from one's listening experience. In mid-2018 the artist abandoned the name and had continued under the name Accasari.
