Debut album from inter-continental duo Cryptophasia. "Within a broader post-industrial sound the album can be thought of in two sonics halves: Side A overall is moody and contemplative and of a sound and style of an earlier 80's ritual industrial approach. As such vocal chants, filmic drones, organ melodies, muted horns, ritualised clatter, and wonky industrial textures abound, where the pacing is both slow and considered... a more focused aggression displayed on the back half of the album. Here the mood elevates towards a composed power electronics tone, where the ritual elements are paired back and the harder industrial textures and aggressive male vocals are brought to the fore... shuddering textures, queasy distortion, unintelligible dialogue and distant yet urgently yelled 'megaphone' vocals... Clearly rooted in post-industrial spheres, it draws equal influence from early ritual industrial soundscape experimentation as well as more modern power-electronics abrasion. But there is still a large individual streak at play here which makes this stand apart from many of its contemporaries" (Noise Receptor).
