Altar Of Flies – Let New Life Rise In The Face Of Death Tape (Sprachlos)
Altar Of Flies is back with a long recording again after the 3 7"s released during the last year. While the 7"s were all good, it's clear that the longer running time here work to AOFs advantage. You recognize the sound and the usual loop-heavy stuff immediately, though something is at the same time different and "new" here. Maybe a bit more varied than before, and it seems at times like Mattias uses a bigger palette of sounds (or at least a better palette). I might be wrong. A nice use of field recordings on some tracks, more evident and refined than on previous recordings I would say. Overall killer atmosphere. All 4 tracks are good (especially the closing tracks on each side are standing out), and they work well enough together to create a real album-feel here.
