Dosis Letalis — Surrounded by Ignorance

Surrounded by Ignorance is an hour long example of rewarding textured wall noise from this respected Serbian project. The release appeared back in 2017 as a CDR on Librarion Records, but these are long sold out now- but you can still download it from the projects bandcamp.

The white CDR features a small square stuck on label- and this comes presented in a slim line CD case which features monochrome illustration of a mass of human faces surrounding a shadowy humanoid figure- which of course nicely fits this releases title/ theme.

The single self titled track here role in at spot on the hour mark- and it’s a wonderful thick & feasting example of the walled noise genre. We find a constantly rolling drone, and this is topped with a selection juddering ‘n’ descending static textures, and two or three layers of persistent snaps & pops. Together these create a wonderful hypnotic & encasing ‘wall’, which really sucks you in from the off- and keeps you held through-out its full hour unfold.  The textures themselves remain fairly fixed & set in their patterns- though one does get from time to time that great wall noise illusion of sonic shift. On the whole I’d say this is a high water mark from this project, and it’s an all round great example of long form wall craft that's both compelling & creative.

So if you enjoyed detailed & wholly entrancing wall craft you’ll need to check out Surrounded by Ignorance, as well as the projects bandcamp in general- as it’s put out some great works over it’s five or year existence....head here
