In the 3 or 4 years or so since I've started doing this blog I've learned to keep my ears open for any music that can fit on this eclectic music blog. I keep getting surprised at how music made in my neighborhood can be unknown to me while at the same time have a large following elsewhere in the world. This is a plea to be receptive to local music. It is local produce after all. Buy local! That counts for the arts too.
I did some research on this band today, hailing from Wervik, Belgium so that you don't have to. They've delivered 5 albums to the world before I even knew about them. This is music for people with a strong stomach: black metal, death-doom kind of vibes. Their latest album (2020 Re-Incentive) has mixed vocals, I am not a fan of unrecognizable grunts, so that is a good thing. The keyboards deliver both an eerie soundscape as well as some very deep bass sounds here end there. I can believe that the bass player alone was responsible for that as the bass almost goes subsonic in a couple of songs. After listening a couple of times to today's song, I was smitten and had to add it here.
The clean vocals here and there, the symphonic elements and the proper use of dynamics in the song make this a masterpiece of more than one genre.
