Bring Me The Head Of Orion - "Contagion Rite"

Dark guitar ambient (8/10)

Hailing from Austin, Texas, Bring Me The Head Of Orion offers a musical experience as large as the state itself. This music contains a sprawling, open-ended quality that confounds expectations by being simultaneously evolutionary and completely static. The formal architecture is built on simple, clear cut melodic ideas and a minimalist type repetition that moves from idea to idea with a refreshing clarity. Depending on your point of view, you might consider the sonic result to accompany the beginning of the world or its end. As or myself, I relate more to it as a soundtrack to the eschaton, and frankly would be worried as to what type of world would produce these sounds from its point of origin. [Read more --->]

Quite interesting dark & heavy guitar ambient. Mostly distorted guitars, drums and keyboard drones. And gloomy atmosphere.

The album has been released by the 49manekinow.net netlabel and is available for downloading at archive.org in mp3 format.
