about
Beneath our conscious self hides another being: the “shadow self,” an entity made from the scraps of our psyche left discarded and suppressed by the waking mind. In seeking inner enlightenment, “Anothered” explores the existential sacrifice and katabasis we make when we confront the shadow — and how we might not like what comes out on the other side.
The song bludgeons you with crash-chokes to begin proceedings, before spiraling into mania with massive blast beats and ripping layered tremolos. The track chugs into a nocturnal groove as the shadow begins to outgrow its dark confines, then reaches a deadly d-beat gallop as this entity starts to overtake your consciousness.
Shifting into a heavier, lurching progression that pushes you toward a dark precipice, the track tosses your conscious mind into a pit of unreality through a slow and crushing passage of ethereal doom. After drowning in gloomy atmospheres of echoing melodies and thundering lows, the previous dark groove resurfaces and builds back into a sweltering madness — punctuated by a startling finale as your psyche succumbs entirely to the shadow self.
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
Extremely inventive and multifaceted sci-fi prog death, just like iridescent ethereal world on the cover art. Best band's achievement up to date. And easily in 2023 AOTY list Dmitry Nevozhay
