 Hum Of The Druid - Raising The New Wing b/w Braided Industry [SNSE - 2008]As if they knew it the day after I bought a new recordplayer this LP was delivered at my door. Excellent timing, but putting the needle into these doomfilled grooves almost seemed a bad idea, as it made me fear for my stylus. Hum Of The Druid makes music for dark, urban rituals. The noises captured in these black grooves is never suffocating you in a constant battering, but the dynamics can hardly be seen as time to catch breath, as they never bode well. The music has a slow pace, its rumbling drone serving as an ambient context for the analog, earthly screechings. Occasionally a dispaired human voice pierces through. Although there's no apparent structure, you don't feel it's just random noise. Some sounds evolve by jerks, others by creeps, each scary in their own way, only to add to the discomfort of the listener.Raising The New Wing (side A) and Braided Industry (side B) take you into a dark industrial underworld where evil spirits take possession of iron tubes and metal sheets, moving and throwing them around. The result takes elements from noise, drone and industrial and mixes it together into the evil, creepy sound that these genres all specialise in. Some excellent graphics by sole bandmember Eric Stonefelt tops it off nicely.
