Accurst - A Phantoms Noctuary
One track. Forty Three minutes. No giant disembodied eye and a black tower unfortunately. But close enough. Accurst is Horror soundtrack music, a chaotic embodiment of ambient, black distortion and horror, "Dekadence" music, as the creator has deemed it.
This is truly a distorting and frightful conception, it begins with dark whispered vocals, vomiting all over a windy background, sounding like the last confessions of a tortured genius, recorded for the archives. It doesn't surprise me that there are keyboards in this, before the vocals come back - spoken word atrocities.
This sounds like another album I reviewed earlier this year - "Czern" by Krothor.
It does a good job in that despite being one gargantuan track, it has enough changes and psychotic moments to become a select handful of Litanies. Just imagine a nice ambient soundtrack of Wind howling, Gothic keyboards that change in pace, tempo, and melody, and interesting vocal poems.
There are dirges, minuets, and moments of chaos like a Carnival at midnight. "Murders never happen without smiles".
This is strictly, strictly not for everyone, and I can't say it is a fantastic release, but it works. Dec 31 2006
