Kalpamantra single tracks reviews continued …
Cryobyosis
Light, rhythmic patterns percolate through the waxing/waning waves of melodic or atonal sounds.
Dahlia’s Tear
Outstanding deep ambient.
Dathura Suavolens
Named after this poisonous/hallucinogenic Andean plant, this Brazilian band produces ethereal-spaced out ritual shamanic neofolk laced with occasional spoken incantations, different and interesting.
Deutsch-Nepal
A.k.a. Lina Baby Doll, a.k.a.Peter Anderson should need no introduction having numerous CD’s of umpteen different projects under his belt. His varied output over the years has always been innovative.
D.R.I.S.T
Downtempo, spaced out, severely distorted electronic abstractions.
Dooom
Most tracks are long and develop at a glacial pace, basically ambient-deep drone, does not grab you by the throat but complex enough to warrant attention, overall a chill album.
Endif
Hard and solid IDM-rhythmic noise, a little gimmicky at times, dance floor fodder.
Endometric Cuntplow
Generally imaginative, atmospheric varies from subdued deep rumbling to raucous noise.
Esquadron De La Muerte
Rambunctuous, strident joy of noize, great stuff!
Exu
Joran Laperre’s side project before he joined Hamith-a-ha. Dense industrial/drone.
Fine Red Mist
Acceptable neofolk/medieval, touch of neoclassic.
Foundation Hope
Downtempo dark electro.
Ghosts In The Clocktower
Good ethereal electronics.
Goten
Surging waves of deep/dark ambient, arrhythmic.
Griefer
Unalloyed raw; abrasive-corrosive razor edged noize complete with occasional screaming shouts. Love or leave the planet.
Halgrath
Neofolk to neogoth, ritualistic to spacey, weird and good.
Hypsiphone
Quite abstract versions of old/nu metal.
Ichorous
Typical chaotic/unstructured free form japanoise.
Igor Bardo
Dark, dense, electro-drone.
Immudus
Choir backed electro-neoclassic.
Innervision Laboratory
The same polish duo who turn out Sephiroth both of which are very good examples of almost post-industrial music with a touch of ambient, multifaceted and complex.
Instint Primal
Excellent dark ambient layered over rumbling/churning background with primal voices.
John Kavanagh
Arrhythmic-thoughtful; atonal industrial abstractions over a corrosive base.
Kim Nasing
Innovative experimental industrial-ambient with the odd bits of punk/glitch thrown in.
Klver
Very varied, from sludgy dark background with melodic overlays to spaced out minimalism.
Konau
Multi-layered atonal over rumbling arrhythmic dark ambient-drone.
Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester
Multifaceted,complex electro industrial,dense and corrosive with metallish voice overs.another artist who ought to be better known.
Kristian Olson
Well composed but chaotic industrial version of japanoise but a bit more structured.
Last Industrial Estate
Waxing-waning waves of ethereal electro.
Linecraft
Archtypical freeform japanoize, a little more structured than most.
Lost Kadath
Rhythmically underpinned ambient, varied enough to be interesting.
