Enfer Boreal - The Way of the Masks

The Way of the Masks by Enfer Boreal

4...according to our on Wed 08 Apr, 2009.

Also on Tape Drift is 'The Way Of The Masks' which at first seems like more drone/ambient gear but as it progresses there's loads going on. At around 5 mins the first track really gets going with some quality controlled feedback and some sounds that make me imagine a big mammoth wailing. The sounds are mixed well so even the harsher elements don't become to screechy. The sound is both dark and psychedelic with hints of melody coming through. I'm digging this one.

Following releases on Ikuisuus, Cut Hands, and Housecraft, France's Maxime Primault provides a massive headlong dive into the deep psych-laden abyss here.  Patient ambient sounds, foreboding static drones, seismic sonic shifts, blasts of feedback, haunting melodic passages, and warped electronics all make appearances, tied together with care.  When played loud, maximum escape velocity is reached in no time at all.  His best work yet.
