Atrocious Depression - Gonarks Lair

On the back of this CD it states "Desperate Noise Drone" and that pretty much sums up the music on the album.This is blackened Drone Doom that is a musical journey of nightmarish proportions.I think this one of the hardest CD's i have ever had to review because it doesn't sound like any other Drone CD i have ever heard.This is one long dark trip into a musician's mind (Gonark) that begs the question what has happened to this guy to make him come up with something so bleak and dark ?From what i can work out from the notes on the album this is mostly a one man project and while some of these one man bands come off sounding simplistic.This one is one complex album,not so much musically but the concept itself.At times mellow,other times its downright threatening.I like this release but it took some listening.If you don't like Droning music you wont like this but if you are a fan of dark music you will get something out of this.There is 8 tracks on offer here,all of which have a macabre feel to them.You can tell he has put a lot of work into constructing these passages but this requires some deep concentration if you want to enjoy these songs of despair.8/10
