Widersinnen - S/T
A new Canadian bred dungeon-synth act from the snowy grounds of Quebec, Gatineau to be exact!. First digital release being self-titled, almost running 50 minutes with 9 tracks (called 1,2,3,4 etc). The artist himself describes it as :
A journey into the realms of minimal ambient music inspired by the Black Metal artists who decades ago chose to explore this same world of melancholic synthesizer music.
Widersinnen means, anti-clockwise in German. Which means, bad luck!. Although I don´t feel unlucky in discovering this murky piece. Its a kind of album which you must go through from the very start to the very end, incredible monotone, hypnotic bass-tones and with heavy synth rumblings on top. Quite a dark, foggy and cold treat. Sort of like wandering through Mirkwood with the dwarves, it is quite easy to get lost in this Widersinnen forest (if you ask me!).
I would almost say (to a certain degree) that it would/could appeal to fans of dungeon-noise/wall, but also to the fans of dungeon synth with a kind of frosty winter´ish theme attached to it. It should of lays in between these two aesthetic mood-definitions. It can (for some) seems too monotone, but for those who prefer the monotone dish served then I would say that it does work. The heavy sounds almost vibrates in your mind, putting the listener into a trance. Beautifully looped synth-darkness for cold lonely foggy nights!
