The Deep Bleed - Escaping The Seventh Circle [Inner Demons Records - 2024]

Reading the artist/ label write-up for Escaping The Seventh Circle, we find out it’s a journey through The Deep Bleed’s struggle with mental health.  It’s a single nearing twenty-minute track- which swirls, drifts, and moves through ambience, subtle noise tones,  and other hazed/ distant sonic flotsam ‘n’ jettison.

This 3-inch CDR appears on Inner Demon Records- with the monochrome cover art featuring a high-contrast landscape & the project's name. The release can be purchased here

The single track runs at nineteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds, and it’s a fairly eventful ride. Moving from bleak drone swells, burred/ lightly pulled tone drifts, gently serrated pitch grind, distant noise shovel 'n' scape, occasional drifting guitar, ambient rise 'n' reduce, and possibly some faint field recording elements.

I’m not sure I was particularly distributed / or unsettled by what’s on offer here- which I feel I should be if we’re taking a journey through a person's mental health struggle- but I was engaged enough by the whole thing, with a nice sense of flow/ reward over the length of the track.

 If you like long-form/ slowly shifting soundscape that sits between ambience and noise I’d say Escaping The Seventh Circle will be your thing.
