The weight of the past, the path of the future and the eddies, flows and currents of the archetypes all animate the moods and atmospheres this album creates.

Drif demonstrates a maturation of Heilung's process and sound. Fans of earlier efforts will feel perfectly at home here. The overall flow is smoother and more even. The fewer poetry readings don't interrupt the energy the way they used to and
the whole experience is just better integrated this time.

As long as the inspired artists of Cryo Chamber continue to pay aural tributes to HPL, I will continue to purchase their results.

Thank you Hocico for an amazing and life changing concert in Saint Louis, MO 10/7/22!!! Eagerly anticipated, your live shows are more than just a concert! Come see us in Stl again!

AT LAST!!! DwtD have finally crafted an album I can comfortably place beside "Out Of Body" and not feel there's too much difference in quality. Make no bones about it, I feel that they've struggled to duplicate what they achieved with "Out Of Body" but I say that because "Out Of Body" is one of my top fav albums of all time, and I'm a grouch of a critic. The Shape is different from Out Of Body in that there's more continuity of feel between each song, but they're all amazingly realized.

Truly great Space Ambient is truly difficult to create, and Sphare Sechs easily rank among the best of the best. This type of music can only too easily become monotonous, boring and even headache inducing, if done wrong. If done right, and Sphare Sechs are really in top form with 'Particle Void', then music like this can literally transport us to wherever our psyche might dictate, no how matter how far past the last firmament that might be.

Based on my listen of the first track, I can report that Dagon is an especially strong entry into the greatest series of Sonic tributes to HPL! So much of the content inspired by HPL descends into hammy camp, or was clearly made by people who haven't read his stories. CryoChamber's aural excursions have the same overpowering presence and scale as the demon HPL dreamed of. Dagon is a lot like Yig, what you hear is especially relevant to Dagon and really suits the Cthulhu spawned fish very well.

If we still have artists who go where SKYND goes, perhaps all is not lost. Because of SKYND, I know that real art can still be made. I'd do anything to be able to collaborate in so brutally honest a project like this.
