You know that point where you have consumed perhaps just a little too much of your chosen intoxicate. That's this album.
Fucking heavy!!! Obstacle of Affliction
Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta
Seattle band Adzes craft sludgy dirges with elements of noise rock, post-metal and shoegaze, united by a staunch moral compass. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 3, 2020
Unmaker was my first encounter with LLNN and I was worried that their previous works might not pack the same punch... what a fool I've been.
Loss is short, and we should be grateful. This is soul-crushing in its heavyness. Imagine watching a gigantic orbital station collapse and crash down on earth, seemingly in slow motion: the annihilation of its impact all-encompassing and inevitable. It is the weight of such an expectation that turns Loss into an almost physical threat. Fascinating. David Fischer
