ZHOTHAQQUAH : OUBLIETTE - NEW! Cassette Tape + Book
C$15.00Price
The second release from the entity ZHOTHAQQUAH. "Oubliette" explores a narrative based on necromancy, punishment, and isolation. Mixing together dark ambient, drone and elements of noise the album encourages you to embrace the darkness and solitude it explores. Caught in the oubliette, we await our transcendence! "...Oubliette is subtly dark and twisted without being aggressive. Dark tones permeate the album alongside deep and buried percussion that thuds and clanks in unpredictable patterns. With all of these dark tones, ZHOTHAQQUAH also ties in elements of harsh noise that periodically overcomes a track in a crushing wall that morphs and shifts equally unpredictably. The track "Embracing Spell of Night" is a fantastic example of this latter stylistic turn as it begins with more subtle and dark tones, eventually becoming a mass of static driven noise that is reminiscent of a muted scream. It's may sound rough, but it's actually quite delightful. - Lars Haur
