Stalaggh — Projekt Misanthropia
From the outset you unshaw exactly what you’ve dropped into, as layers upon layers of screams, moans, bays, groans and death rattles surround you. It’s like treading the very corridors of hell, or been lost in some maze like dudgeon. As the track progress Black metal guitar chugs, doomy horror soundtrack drifts, crashing cymbals, weird noises and anything else they fancy throwing at your melting mind, is added into the sound soup. With through out the noise and scream element are kept constant and dense. There really are some very inspired moments along the way like at about the 19 minute mark where an eerier 70’s like occlutic moog drift can be heard at the base of the chaos, before a slow black/doom hazes is added on top. An enjoyable long form piece that manages to keeps one attention through out, with the ideas always flowing and growing never becoming too stale or safe.
One for those who enjoy noise, black metal and horror soundtracks, preferably all mixed up together into one gruelling and atmospheric dark sludge. To enter into Stalaggh’s dark trip fall into this dark pit of the mind.
