It doesn't take much to realize you're in for a rather unpleasant experience when approaching this album (see band name, album title, album cover). Unpleasant as in, not for the faint of heart. Essentially this is for those looking to either-- A. increase their audible horizons, or B. rise ancient beasts of lore from their sunken graves. Please note results from the latter are not typical. Necro Deathmort's latest LP is a straight nosedive through blackened caverns of maniac hellfire and charcoaled sonics, combining elements of doom metal, drone, and industrial electronica.
Music of Bleak Origin is a two-sided beast; for one you have its raw, fleshy side (thick, brooding guitar drones) and opposite its horned, monstrous scale (damned electro-beats and remote synthesizers, stirring beneath vicious earth). That clash of seemingly polarized genres is what makes this such a compelling listen. The album functions like a colony of exiled science experiments; some tracks act as sonic overlords, heralding massive amplifier feedback to its electronically distorted, beat-driven counterparts. It's a parasitic affair, the more (dare I say) club-orientated tracks feed off of the abrasive interludes, store the sonic abundance, and release it through carefully arranged linear structures. Music of Bleak Origin's emphasis of varying genres, adventurous sonics, and ambitious production leaves plenty of space to be explored in its mountainous cavern of doomed electro-metal; whether or not you're willing to take the first step inside.
