From my early interest in Bowie, Pixies and any unknown CD’s my dad owned, music has been at large in my life. My passion for this intensified in my early teens as I sought more experimental and heavier styles, Converge, Botch and other 90’s hardcore propelled this. Later Black Metal, Death Metal and other grim sounds became my normal listening sphere, eventually leaving me where I am today. Writing about music is my way of maintaining discovery, but more importantly drawing other people into new artist discographies and genres.

If you’re looking for something hypnotic, sounds to get washed under, and in the same vein as Dan Barrett’s previous projects, then this record does the job and does it well. Just don’t go into this expecting the next great milestone in the mystical and apocalyptic journey that is this man’s musical endeavours. – By Sam Robinson
