Style: Dissonant black/death metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: Utter chaos
Thoughts: There are very few albums that I can't form an opinion about. Most albums I know rather definitively if I enjoy them or not... but this one. I don't know if I enjoy Impetuous Ritual's second album or not.
The music on display here is chaotic. It's so chaotic and the production is so muddied that it's hard to determine any individual riffs or even patterns happening while the album is playing. It sounds alien, not of this earth.
It takes my brain almost half an hour to calibrate to the sound on the album. I can't listen to it casually... the album demands attention or it's literally noise. If somehow my brain can break through this insanity then I may be able to actually enjoy the album for what it's worth... but until that time I'm stuck here banging my head against a wall trying to get this to click.
