Anophthalmia seems to be another fairly
new project, mainly focusing on power electronics, HN and HNW. And on his
latest release called “Total Death Collection”, you can find total deprivation
of sound. Also the cover/artwork represents much of the atmosphere: vague and brutal.
The first track, “Oral Bleeding”, starts
with gurgling noise and minimal delayed (or looped) ambient. The structure of
this track changes all the time, but only seemingly with the existing sounds
and not with new ones. Later on, also a faint vocal-like sound joins in. “Cut Scenes
Of A Snuff Film” produces a lo-fi, harsh, gushing sound, with remote
vocals. A very impressive sound if you start focusing on it. “Come Out Tonight”,
the third track, has low rumbling, a voice sample (coming from a tv?) and a high
ranged, sharp tone. As the track progresses, the voice sample is getting slowly
swallowed by oncoming power electronics. The last track, “You’ve Always Been
Nothing”, is spewing dark drones with massive density. Industrial noises are noticeable
on the background, portraying the coldness of machinery.
This release comes straight to the point.
Its minimal but unremorseful in sound.
