I : Baphomet


<< Back


Metaorganism makes some very dark music on this album. The cd sleeve contains very little information, but as I play the cd I see that the album is just over an hour long. With only 6 tracks, this means we get long soundscapes.

The whole album is a combination of deep, dark drones and industrial frequencies. It’s very spatial dark-ambient, although not really in the Lustmord sense. Actually, part of the album feels more like something Nordvargr could do (especially the middle song). If you know his work then you know what can be expected. It would also fit very well with paintings of H.R. Giger, or for the world of Cenobites; that sense of infernal space and claustrophobia is very much represented here. Though it doesn’t get really boring, it also doesn’t stray too much from its initial path. The whole album is basically one long soundscape, with some variations. I like the ambience on this album very much, though it’s less interesting then above mentioned Lustmord or Nordvargr would do.

Although there are little surprises to be found here, it is an accomplished album and has some great dark ambience to it. Also, the long tracks work very well for this kind of music so you can delve into your worst nightmares. All in all, it’s certainly something to pick up if you’re into very dark soundscapes, though don’t expect it to be earth-shattering.
