And Then You Die
Sore
Although
Finland-based, mysterious project ATYD apparently finds its origins
in prehistoric times, and could be responsible for the most ancient
civilizations on Earth... Whoever they are, they release an intense
and tortured album. Industrial, with shoegaze influences, it displays
tons of heavy distorted guitars, riffs that haunts your soul, with
loads of reverb. The strings cut deep through the skin. The beats are
industrials. No vocals, or inaudible, yet the feeling is strong.
“Sore” is not an easy album, it offers no catchy tracks, but it
slowly spreads its venom, until you find yourself carved like a snake
in its pit, lethargic and hypnotized. It will bring you to scary and
depressive places, industrial wastelands and post-apocalyptical
landscapes.
This album is a
real revelation for me, one of the most interesting and
uncompromising albums I have heard. I will certainly have a further
look at ATYD’s discography.
