Experimental Electronic Music
Intentionally multidirectional, incorporating a lot of influences and original elements to deliver something catchy, unsettling, and moodily atmospheric, “[channel]” encompasses a punchy doom-laden hypnotic dancing trip punctuated by ominous ambient textures of sci-fi cinematic quality.
But it’s not all splatter. Soaring synths pierce the darkness with moments of light reminding me to look for that light, follow it down the tracks even as metallic crashes continue to cascade into crumbling piles of rust.
More heavy and power electronics are used as main architecture, punctuated by processed acoustic elements, retro-futurist tribal drums, doom-laden organ chords, micro noises, and nihilistic vocals, wordless and narrated.
The album’s almost cyber-punk and relentlessly austere energy also veers into musical territory inhabited by Ghostly International-signed acts.
As the artists find their comfort zone in an assemblage of mangled industrial, bass, illbient, techno, downtempo, and even dub, Firelands showcases familiar shadows shifting in the dead of night.
A solid package showcasing the artists’ ability to flex and fracture darkened electronics within the constructs of seamless and unexpected ambient voyages.
A riveting amalgam of all things abnormal yet dauntingly tethered to shifting and surreal downbeat dynamics.
The raw energy and dynamism of modern technology simply becomes tangible as each audible slice explores the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics.
This testament to sci-fi terror was written, recorded, mixed, engineered, and mastered by Morego Dimmer at DIM Studio in Tehran, with vocals, lyrics, bass, guitars, keys, synths, bells, and Sound Design by Morego Dimmer.
Acquiesce has more to do with the universe and its mysteries than it does being defined to any one genre.
