This is Lustmord`s fifth album, it came out on side
effect in 1992. I got this CD as a gift. Which is a good thing because this
album`s sold-out. There`s five tracks in here (53.54 minutes). I recommend
hearing this with headphones on and with the volume full blast. It is a scary,
bumpy ride, but well worth the effort. Recommended for fans of the late and
great H P Lovecraft (if you`re into movies such as The Exorcist
and Rosemary`s baby you will dig this). Here`s a brief rundown.
1 – Ixaxaar (5.07) = a voice sample `it is the night
of the demon` keeps repeating itself while something sonically dark lurks
in the background, it approaches slowly, getting closer, even closer, when it`s
about to materialize, the track ends.
2 – Primordial atom (25.23) = lo-fi drones + dark
atmospherics = something ominous and sinister is feeling my heart and soul. An
unholy but epic joyride and we`re not done yet.
3 – Protoplasmic reversion (5.55) = looped incantation / chants +
processed gong sound bytes + minimal drones + found sounds + the demon is
coming, ahhhhhhhhh = scary as hell.
4 – The daathian doorway (6.38) = rhythmic noise + dark
drones + ambient noise / ambient darkwave = a nightmarish vision of the soul.
5 – The fourth and final key (11.05) = lo-fi rhythmic
noise + highly processed Gregorian chants + industrial and ambient darkwave =
defines the word creepy. An amazing album, recommended if you find it.
