DELIRANT Thoughteater

Popis:

The re-emergence of Spain's black metal contortion Délirant from the depths of subconsciousness, reanimates the crawling ascent of mind and soul destruction through the medium of auditory disfigurement. Shrouded in dissonance and swathed in nightmares, "Thoughteater" is a sonic dissection of the abyss conceived by long running black metal recluse D.B. (also of Negativa and Hässlig). This sophomore full-length offering is a surreal descent into the darkest corners of the subconscious, the hypnagogic state, lucid dreaming, and deviant states of perception, achieved through the unorthodox but regal medium of twisting, dissonant black metal. Of the same abominable and shapeshifting breed as that wielded and perfected by acts like Blut Aus Nord, Akhlys, Deathspell Omega, Abigor And Mispyrming to harness superior realms of imaginative destruction and auditory deception, and which has redefined metal music in this peculiar form as an unparalleled vector for all-devouring musical surrealism. The obsession of becoming one with the void is the zenith of the work, its median and most abyssic turning point after the initial descent. Once the absolute depth of interior horror has been reached, the second half of the album unfolds embodied as a cathartic pilgrimage to seek the light through darkness, overcoming fear and doubt, anxiety and panic. In the grand masterplan of the album's deeply intimate and self-explorative nature, light and hope are contemplated, but absolutely crushing and abysmal realms of darkness and suffering must be endured before this re-emergence can be achieved, rendering "Thoughteater" essentially a personal expiation through the penitence of absolute torment.
