Trembling Shadows is a decidedly apt title for this new Sado Rituals release. As the featured forty-three-minute track blends choppy ‘n’ brooding ANW texturing, with a haunted tone wavering- for a chilling if at points mind-warping effect.

This like many of the walled noises genre's recent releases appears in the form of a digital release. Cover artwork wise we get a simple yet effective picture of an ill-defined human figure shape, which looks rather foreboding & threatening. The release can be found just here 

The single self-titled track rolls in at forty-three minutes and seven seconds. It’s constructed around a bothersome & at points slightly beaded bass clutter ‘n’ purr- this is underfed by a wavering up ‘n’ down ghost wailing or wind billow-like tone. As the track progresses I make out the odd sub-tone deviations within the wall’s main flow- be it more drilling bass grinds, scrap ‘n’ rattling texturing, or cluttering or rattling shelve-like jitters.  

When playing the ‘wall’ through headphones you can hear the good & clean balance of the layers here, and the way they are used to create an urgent yet eerier example of the walled noise form. I’m guessing the deviations I discussed early are largely real, and not imagined but who knows- and I guess it doesn’t really matter one way or the other.

Since establishing in 2019 Sado Rituals has gone on to release over one hundred releases in the sub-genres of harsh noise, dark drone, and HNW/ ANW. And  Trembling Shadows is another worthy addition to the projects discography
