Distro Item; Label: Simple Box Construction
2xCDr album from Post Rock influenced ambient/drone artist A Death Cinematic. Simple stunning artwork and packaging that suits the music. Rusty sounding guitar blues, apocalyptic darkness and engulfing textures.
REVIEW BY THE SILENT BALLET.
excerpt: "If there is anyone who could be in the same category as A Death Cinematic, it seems like some of the more recent experimental black metal groups are them. British 'black metalist' Caïna, in particular, has created a similar sound, but even he can't nail down the same marriage of black metal, post-rock, and ambient that makes A Death Cinematic such a unique project, and this record so unlike anything else I've ever heard. There is an almost shoegazey fuzz to many of the guitar layers that characterise this album; the high reverb and '60s-esque gain create a morose, mournful tone much of the time, but these echoed strains also carry a menace that is only reinforced by the more modern distortion loops or minor-key background melodies. I don't know what A Death Cinematic does to sound so evil, but it works."
REVIEW BY DOOM METAL ALLIANCE.
excerpt: "If you are a fan of Earths newer work, Boris' Flood style tones or the beautiful landscapes of Yellow6, then you will love this swirling droning piece of droning ambience. The name of the album is "A Parable On The Aporia Of Vengeance And The Beauty Of Impenetrable Sadness". A long title indeed, but when you read the song titles which are just as long, you see that the song titles actually in a way tell a story. When you hear the progression of the songs featured on the album, you can hear the meaning behind the titles."
