Lunarsapien – Summoning The Aether
I had the pleasure of listening to this album for the 1st
time on a special show on Funereal Drone radio. The whole show was just this
album, a huge 74 minute track of menacing ambience.
Reviewing one massive track isn’t easy as there are no
breaks or cut off points, the track seems to go on forever, as can I in some of
my reviews. But the overall feel of this album is, for me, a sewer dwelling
creature, who isn’t attacking you, but is threatening to do so. The threat leaves you backed up into a corner with little, or no chance of escape. Something tells
me I’ve spent a lot of my time playing Resident Evil.
But that’s what this album feels like to me. It’s feral,
yet at the same time, restrained, because the vocals – or animal noises, as I
interpret them, are full of menace, whilst the musical backdrop is soothing
ambience. And with another video game reference, this could be the soundtrack
to Silent Hill. Again, it’s my interpretation of the music, but the music makes
me feel like I’m lost in a sea of fog.
This is a beautiful creation and one that creates vivid
images within your mind. And for me, that’s the power of music and why I
constantly seek out gems, such as this.
At the time of me writing this review, the album is
available as a free download, so you’ve no excuse for not checking this out.
