Azken Auzi hit harder this time. Right away, DEEP HELL crushes you. Thick guitars, bass and drums all locked together. You can feel the weight. Ludo’s voice crawls out of the mix, low, strained. Feels like the shadows of the debut are here, but twisted somehow.
SK comes next. Weird, tense. Post-metal kind of feel. Makes you uneasy, like you’re peeking at something you shouldn’t. No vocals for BLACKMASS, just instruments moving like some ritual. You notice small details in the layers, little noises under the guitar, the bass buzzing low. It grows slowly, doesn’t let go.
SEE YOU NEXT TUESDAY drags you into that classic doom pulse. Slow, heavy, like a march. REPTILIAN follows, darker, feels like it’s been waiting in the corner of the album. Grim riffs, heavy atmosphere. You almost feel the band daring you to keep up.
The closer, FROM HELL, floats in. Quiet at first. Almost fragile, but it doesn’t make the heaviness go away. Just a little pause. A breather. You notice it more after the loud parts.
Compared to their first (self-titled) record, you can hear them pushing the sound further. Slower here. Heavier in places. The mix lets everything settle where it needs to. Bass rumbles under the guitars. Drums hit hard. Vocals never let up. Feels messy, alive. You feel it in your chest sometimes.
By the end, you’re tired, but also stuck in it. Heavy, dark, weird. Feels like the band wanted you to notice every riff, every pause, every shadow.
