A series of epic abstract death metal epiphanies and inspired existential breath-stoppers/chamber pieces, riffing on and cradling each each other. Hitherto unimaginable and successful genre-collapse. In lesser efforts, usually, the orchestra and chamber music instrument slow things down or their loudness seems badly arranged. Here it’s simply perfectly though out and executed. AOTY/decade(?)
The problem is: Where do you go to after listening to this? — It’s so enticing, so musical, so mature, so smart, so dramatic and perfect, you will not want to go back to something simpler, less inspired, less wonderful. Might have to wait another small eternity for Orgone’s next release
This beast lives and breaths. In its tragic clash and mega-mix of heart-rending moods, styles and genres it is as paradoxical and schizoid as modern man. Truly masterful how this dilemma is dramatized and mind-bendingly set to hypnotic and touching music.
I agree — this is like from another world.
Amongst all the depth and beauty on display, the technical brilliancy ACTUALLY matches vision, high drama and empathetic messaging. Never have I heard such inventive, utterly ensconcing and non-repetitive guitar playing in TDM. The terms ‘noodling’ or ‘rifforama’ really wouldn’t do it much justice. ‘Orgoning’ might be better?!
