"The Near Death Experience" released on Candlelight.
This is probably some of the most disturbing music I've heard (whilst still maintaining some synergy with standard musical composition), so this isn't noise manipulation and we're not verging into the vomit-inducing territory of Khanate's "Things Viral" here.
Surprise surprise, Spektr hail from France. You can hear some similarity to Blut Aus Nord, particularly the chainsaw buzz in the riffs. But there's so much more to it than just that....the overall ambience of the album offers some duality in nature. On one hand, where some of it might sound very modern and nihilstic, there's a strange sense of antiquity embedded within.
If ever there was a lost recording of BM made in 1860, played in some old cabin in the woods, and then brought to life by the necromonicon itself, Spektr's "Near Death Experience" would be it. Scratchy, old, subliminal horror.
Remember in the Sixth Sense when those ghosts would communicate via the white noise of the tape hiss? This is where Spektr exists.
"Cthonic Rites" released on Aurora Borealis.
Moss have created a 2 song soundtrack, inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft. It's played at a funeral doom pace but entrenched in cinematic horror (as opposed to suicidal depression). This isn't drone a la Sunn 0))) in that it's not mechanical sounding in the least (and I'm specifically referencing their "black" album which might seem like the obvious comparison point).
Here's some propaganda: "Crushing, desolate granduer. Vast and expansive melancholia pierced by torturous screams and thundering low-end at a mournful pace. And produced by Jus Osborn of Electric Wizard no less. "
