Non Horse - Harraam, Circle of flame [Releash The Bats - 2006]Harraam, Circle of flame is a twisted/deranged noise & Atmospheric outpouring, using guitar sound, and layer upon layer of grim wall paper like souced recordings & sonic Debris. The album starts off in fine overload fashion, but takes a turn for the more sinister and macabre as the album progesses. The album feels akin to been in a mass ground on some strange drug, then realising your been watched and then as you move through the crowd been followed. It really feels like your falling deeper and deeper into this demented and very odd dream world, which is alive with unevering and down-right homicidal intent. Non horse users all manner of scare tactics from; eerier and wonky tape loop guitar melodies, strange breathing sounds, layers of ominous and freaky sounds. This really is dark modern psychedelic music of the highest order, it feels sun yellowed, maggot covered, blood and excrement smeared. It's the soundtrack to unwell bodies swaying in rocking chairs and mumbling to them self’s, or finding eyes peer at you though holes in the walls. I think what really makes this so effective and convinced is the lo-fi natural- like it’s been stapled and super glued together in a psychotic flesh and bone workshop by a demented Alice gone mad in wonderland type character . Really very rewarding in it’s growing confusion and fear, sadly only ltd to 500. so if you want, go it get now(here) before it’s all too late, cue creepy music and dread filled laugher echo off into the darkness ‘ha,ha,ha,ha….
