Description: Kerovnian: From The Depths of Haron
2001
Available from Cold Spring Records
Fifty minutes of Hellishness will curdle souls for blocks around when you rip the lid from this fetid tomb. (Can you tell I really enjoy writing the creature-feature stuff?!)
Shimmery drones of a mildly spooky supernaturalism meet with beast-man mutterings in Dripping in the Form of Styx. Tiny voices seem to cry out from beneath the dark swirls and metallic gongs which emit from the Morgue of Human Sanity; an entrancingly morbid beauty is buried here. It sounds as if the Worm of the Broken Urn has some serious intestinal problems, with all that churning, glooping, spluttering and wailing... more disgusting than frightening (though I suppose if you were alone, at night, in a crypt... and heard these abominations, it wouldn't seem so funny!).
Eventually, symphonic (thankfully) replaces gastric; the low tones of Let Yourself to Float... to the Flute of Death are accompanied by evil winds, assorted bumps-in-the-night and the feminine croonings of M. Empress Sigyn. The phantasmally moaning voices of a Litany of a Lonely Corpse (9:04) are occasionally heard beyond a wall of deep, rippling pulsations. A Cry from the Maze (2:07) reveals slow, reverberant notes and sorrowful lamentations which close the disc.
Twisted mastermind Vlad K. is dead serious about his work; I get the feeling that, to Kerovnian, these eight audio-creepshows are not just spooky-fun midnight atmospheres, but grave matters indeed.
