What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Here's some more dark ambience from Wicked Messenger courtesy of those Dark Ambient gurus at Plague Records in sunny Belgium. Is it sunny in Belgium? Not sure but the wife went to Ghent once and said it was lovely. Mind you judging by this the skies must be dark and grey and evil forbodes. This is some serious intense dark moving industrial sounding dark ambience. 'The River Disappeared' Sidewards is a limited CD only job.

What the label says:

CD is limited to 300 copies and housed in cardboard sleeve.

Reviews
"Looming ahead across a vast nocturnal plane, Wicked Messenger's "The River Disappeared Sidewards" is an enigmatic monolith guiding the listener into ancient and imposing terrain. Roaring reverberations, sustained boomings, and metallic delayed percussives evoke primordial and hostile landscapes on a world still forming and hostile to life. This is a river of liquid methane, or molten rock, disappearing into caliginous darkness inhabited by nightmare visions and half perceived terrors. The darkest of Plague's releases, Wicked Messenger delivers the soundtrack to cyclopean horrors." (Sid Redlin, USA)

"This album is absolutely massive from start to end, it has no weak moment whatsoever. Expect the finest ritual ambient, created by using the human voice, guitar-drones and tortured electronica. Wicked Messenger finally gives an added value again to the 'dark ambient' genre as many releases from the last few years were lacking originality and dedication, oftenly cloning/copying eachother. The River Disappeared Sidewards is definitely the most creepily release on Belgian Plague Recordings sofar. Black and sticky as tar but very contemplative. A standard!" (FdV, Belgium)

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
