And the Light Swallowed Everything by
Seirom
holy hell well this is just great. Seirom is another alias of dude behind
Gnaw Their Tongues and
Aderlating (both of which i would also recommend if you havent heard/like terrifying ****) and his last 3 releases under Seirom have all been great too. The music has usually been this dark, dense ambient style but this new album is different. Ive only listened to it twice but i can already tell itll end up being a favorite for the year. It's still pretty dark (it's ambient but it certainly uses black metal as an influence) yet it's sonically different than his previous releases.. It's got a more "hopeful" sound to it, rather than just a thick fog of sound. The album cover is apt; the music shimmers and yet still sounds sombre. It really is a haunting and beautiful album. Well recommended. Available to stream on their
bandcamp. go check it out and be a cool kid
