Free Music Review: A Voice Like Nuclear Winter
Hit: 2 Stars
Like so many others, I researched Xasthur after being blown away by Malefic's guest vocal on Sunn O)))'s Black One (which Ive also reviewed). A fair amount of time was spent reading and talking with people to start with the Xasthur album that represented his apex.
I've listened to this record regularly now for about six weeks. There isn't really anyone in music with a vocal as singular as Malefic. Its the aural equivelant of a nuclear winter. However, sadly his voice is the only reason to listen to this and there is surprisingly little of it on this album. Its like eating a salad as a template for the dressing.
Somewhere along the way, Malefic was convinced of a songwriting and arranging ability that simply isn't there. Malefic's influence would be expanded drastically by better songs and in a perfect world he would be a permanent member of a band like Sunn O))).
The exception is "Prison Of Mirrors" which moves like a wave of insanity and covers you with its dark ambient inevitability. It really is a marvel and serves to illustrate the larger point as the rest of the material pales in comparison.
I'd like to think I started at the wrong place. All you dark minions of Xasthur familiarity, I am open to trying again but I'm pretty confident this is a performance artist of considerable skill who needs to realize he requires others to write for him.
