harsh-drone-noise

by Francesco Nunziata

Catapulted into a shapeshifting chaos of distortion, disturbed frequencies and metallic reverb, we immediately recognize the hand of the most uncompromising Kevin Drumm, though the drone backdrops unfurling behind the scenes tell us our man is seriously intent on contaminating his menacing past with the more evocative solutions of the "Imperial Distortion"/"Imperial Horizon" double act.

But it's a synthesis that, sadly, never gets past good intentions, because these scant thirty-seven minutes of music, built on the layering of multiple sound sources, fail to manifest a soul. So much so that, in the end, the harsh-noise-drone continuum slowly turns into one enormous yawn.
