Lyke Wake - At The End Of The Dream, Where Nothing Remains / Symphonic Noise
A new full-length Lyke Wake has hit the streets. A 1-track 65.19 minutes epic journey into the underworld, or in some esoteric location hidden between heaven and hell?. At The End Of The Dreams is out on CD via Lyke Wake´s own label Aspectic Noise.
The album starts in the same matter as previous released Lyke Wake albums, quite epic and with that quite retro-Italian-horror feel. I do think (for some reason) that I am sensing a bigger sense of power here. I do think that whatever he is doing, he is actually getting better at it. The finger-work on the synths? The power of improvising? The method of sounding like the real deal maybe?... Maybe if we combine all these into one answer, then maybe we are getting closer to that answer which we seek. It has a lot in comment with Lyke Wake´s Crawling Through The Abyss Of Pain, although this one has a lot more... muscle to it. I do remember that Crawling Through ended being one of the Kalteldur best releases of 2018, which gives you an understanding of why I am sitting here being... surprised that this one is just that much better. There are also some new touches to be heard within, I am not much for female opera-vocals BUT... the ones used here... hit the nail perfectly home on the board! Even the synth-driven violins sound great! The single-track also delivers some mind-blowing psychedelic harshness-sounds as well.
Religious, spiritual, meditative, atmospheric, engulfing, cavernous, eldritch, hypnotizing, mesmerizing, psychedelic, otherworldly, cosmic, heavenly, godlike stuff!... ( I could go on! ).
Just imagine what it would sound like if Tangerine Dream or Keith Emerson (in the 70s) did a soundtrack to an Italian Fulci-flick, and then just add a tiny drop of esotericism... and there u have it!. I fxxxxxx love it! Fans of Runes Order, Raison d´être, Tangerine Dream, and dungeon synth should seek it out!
