“Underated 2023 Release”
Where silence becomes a threat: Michael Herter's HORROR. Vol. 1: Dark Psychological Suspense balances minimalist psychological textures with aggressive orchestral dissonance into a visceral toolkit of cinematic dread, while Rare Kreature's Noises Beyond weaves '80s horror-inspired darkwave and post-punk between morose and campy vibes for a uniquely cinematic experience. Coma Beach's Passion/Bliss closes their "Scapegoat Revisited" triptych with a fever dream caught between punk abrasion and post-punk hallucination, steeped in Beckett's existential despair, and their debut The Scapegoat's Agony remains a razor-sharp blast of punk catharsis and metaphysical pessimism. Rounding it out, AMU Henry Smalls' FINAL FORM+ delivers a darker tale of death, rebirth, and defiance across his most collaborative album yet.
“This song envelops you in a dark, hypnotic soundscape of shadowy allure, weaving a sinister tale of obsession with a “snake of a man” whose charm is as dangerous as it is irresistible.”
“A psychedelic journey through alien mysteries and cosmic mayhem, marking Mombi Yuleman's bold debut into the realms of psytrance.”
“A wild, foresty darkpsy adventure crawling with venomous grooves and twisted citrus energy.”
