Artist site: http://www.callistochaos.com/
GRADE:
9/10
This one starts off in an ambient vibe, very enigmatic, and then when Blackhole sinks in, fans of NEUROSIS and the like, rejoice. This band employs a wall of sound approach, and I love it. The entire opus is a moody sonic journey, drenched in huge mammoth riffs, feedback and great drumming. I guarantee youll find yourself humming a riff or chord progression at some point in your day. Maybe not the vocals, but the music is memorable. There is a riff in Limb Diasporas that is very similar to a death metal riff used in the early 90s, I just cant seem to place the band in my brain at the moment.
I nominate Storm as one of the years ten best songs as of this moment. A nine minute epic adventure into the lands of the drunken and stoned, you will zone out. Caverns of Khafka follows nicely, the melody so slowed down and permeating I feel it oozing into my frontal lobe like molasses. Masonic is a fave to crank when Im hammering bong hits, very powerful stuff. And the dissonant melodies of the final track leave me in a daze.
Upon more and more listens, True Nature Unfolds continues to grow on me and I will go on record as saying its the best to come out of this type of music in a very long time. I like the album cover a lot, too. Grab your favorite beer, light one up and watch your true nature unfold, indeed.
