Acryl Madness - I'm Madness

Acryl Madness - I'm Madness

Acryl Madness is rapidly becoming one of my favorite darksynth meisters. It's difficult to resist the hypnotic effect his music has. Like a spider building its web, Acryl Madness generates spiraling melodies that trap the listener so that they may be slowly devoured by a musical arachnid. Our darksynth meister doesn't rely on warbling distorted bass or any other dub-step trappings. But he does mainting these steady beats that pulse just as hard as any beat drop. Moreover, the aura given off by this is thick, pervasice, toxic, and slimy; just like tentacled monstrosity out of Lovecraft story.

I'm a complete sucker for melody and Acryl Madness delivers those in spades. The minor scales used, the arpeggios, and how they transition into one another is pure dark delicacy. The ultimate shadowy seal, however, is the backdrop of rythm, texture, and splendid use of dynamics behind this elegant melodies. There seems to be a bit more tempo and overall feel changes than previous albums. It all adds up to a fully capturing listen that grips both mind and soul for a twisted ride into one of Lovecraft's most haunting nightmares. Perhaps the best exampls of this are my favorite tracks "In the Rain" and "666Wave". That latter track I put on repeat. It's more metal than metal. Then there's "Screaming in the Dark", with truly nightmare trap of a build-up and climactic melody.

Acryl Madness has been highly consistent in putting out high quality work. I'd say he easily competes in the same arena as Mega Drive, Perturbator, Fixions, and many other darksynth meisters. I can't recommend this enough.

World's End

World's End In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees all die as one with humanity. Tossed into oblivion eternity of nothing thrown into emptiness. Will we be born again? The world set ablaze a fire in the sky. Inferno consumes the land All perish; die. Weep not for the critters or your loved ones. Today is the day we all meet the same fate Tossed into oblivion, eternity of nothing, thrown into emptiness, Will we be born again? In a clash of melancholy, The world will end. All the flowers of the Earth shall burn into a crisp. The fish of the sea, the birds, and the trees All die as one with humanity.

Muh Aztec Ancestors

Actually, as much as Mexicans love to believe that they where Aztecs, they where most likely the slaves to the Aztecs. Hell, they probably helped Cortez destroy Tenochtitlan. Come to think of it, the Aztecs weren't even native to Mexico. They came from somewhere up north. Utah, perhaps. They arrived, colonized, conquered,and enslaved dozens of other tribes. It was these subjugated tribes that joined ranks with the Conquistadors. So there you go. The Aztecs where evil colonizers and oppressors and the Conquistadors where liberators. Stop larping as an Aztec and start larping as a Conquistador.

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here

Dreamhour - Now That We Are Here I first heard of Dreamhour when I listened to the album VLLNS . I think it's a wonderful album full of killer grooves and catchy melodies. My favorite tracks included "Cerebral Chase" with it's smooth chorus and both "Blood Patrol" and "Shobdohin" with its sexy guitar and synth lines. I cannot say I enjoy the follow, PROPSTVR as much. For whatever reason, that album simply didn't vibe with me. Maybe it's because the theme of VLLLNS is just way cool, and in having a cool theme, it generated cool music. What's not to like about a story involving a megacity vampire cult? We're not here to talk about those two albums. We're here for Now That We Are Here . There a few songs on this album that give me PROPSTVR vibes, such as the first two songs. Naturally, I can't fully appreciate these songs. Other songs contain quite good synth melodies, but are less tha...
