Zoät-Aon - The Triplex Bestial [Aural Hypnox - 2006]The thing about this and other Aural Hypnox releases (and I guess all forms of dense ambient) is you’ve got to relisten over and over again to sink deeper into the atmosphere, to understand what is trying to be created here. For that a patient, imaginative and free mind is needed. This is Zoät-Aon second album and offers up an hours worth of denser and often distirbing ritual dark ambience, laced with all manner of dark Occultic undertones, and eerier animal sound recordings. It’s all the work of Finland-based Jaakko Vanhala, with supporting roles on a few tracks by others playing thing such as Tingshas, Mala Rattles, Human skull drums (I think it’s best not to ask), piano and singing bowls. There’s no doubt about it , though out the atmosphere and depth of it is kept almost on a knife edge, as if you expect something to suddenly slide twitch or creak into listing space. It tells of strange ritual's played out in snow heavy forests, murmuring hordes of others awaiting at the gates to our world, this is music to unlock and release, really very impressive with it’s considerable depth and dread heavy level of sound. There’s so much audio detail, but all of it works chillingly well together giving the feeling akin to wondering though some dark and bent half world, between real and unreal.As with all Aural Hypnox releases it comes in a very arty and impressive packaging, it’s in a old 7" single like art card fold out sleeve, full of dark, occult and natural bounded imagery. Really a very rewarding and chilling sound trip for those willing to lock in and concentrate on dark world that’s enfolding. To hear samples and buy direct slip through this dark portal.
