Jacques vd Himst Slow heavy Guitar Drone filled with loud guitar strokes. That is basically it. Well there is bit more mastery to it, but what an addictive beast of an album. 2021 needed this.

about

A cycle of primitive and ethereal.
Building monoliths as Altars. A Hearth.
The main centre of these pieces are weathered landscapes, crumbling rocks, erosion eating away at stones, chaos of overgrowth, the deep time of constant crumbling and occlusion. Passage of storms, rebuilding of momentum, weathered souls.
A cyclical altar, an eroded homecoming.
A lyrical desolation.

From the artist:

"The narrative of the entire record is loosely based on the concept of deep time, a temporal scale unlike our perception of change. Albeit the musical composition is reflecting this idea from a more poetic perspective, the pieces are woven together into this fabric of change - of creation and perishing. Stylistically I wanted to remove myself from purely working with electronics and chose my formative instrument, the electric guitar, to be the voice of this record, driven through massive tube amplifiers at large volumes to assert the physicality required."

Impressive evocation of a wide range of emotional states, from percussive rattling tensions to droning ennui and calm to breathless expectancy and wide-eyed wonder. Like performing a So Hum meditation, listening to this thoughtful and pensive album opens your mind to both universal and internal truths. Dave Aftandilian
