That FEAR FALLS BURNING crew that Phil baby likes have a highly limited live LP out on a German label called 'The Rainbow Mirrors a Burning Heart'. It's 2 long, untitled improvised tracks of drones, textures, ambient noise & atmospherics. The tune running the length of side B will be of huge interest to the sonic boulder heads who like falling asleep in the bass bins at Khanate gigs. It builds into an epic containing slo-mo, downtuned slabs of introverted guitar filth overlaid with eerie industrial atmospheric shards that pierce your temples. I'd say the last quarter of this album could be termed doom & the remainder more building, drifting dark ambience/loops. Side 2 wins out - a slowly unfurling, soul worrying doom symphony that's incredibly forlorn, bleak & compelling. Deffo one for fans of Boris & Sunn O))). This is limited to a mere 300 no'd copies for the world on Aufabwegen

Fear Falls Burning - With all the power, noise, aggression and subtlety that
comes from a single man performing real-time on the electric guitar through
a maze of pedal effects, notes and chords shifting and multiplying over time
into dense and trance-inducing walls of sound. Fear Falls Burning succeeds
in uncovering a new language that stretches time and brings the listener to
the edge multiple times, entrancing with the repetitive yet pure sonic
presence of the electric guitar. Fear Falls Burning sets himself apart from
the current drone scene by using different techniques and an expansive
collection of pedal effects. The zen-induced result of a harsh method of
musical effacement: Lonely tones drift through harmoniously singing clouds
of sustain, black streams of crunching distortion flow underneath heavenly
harmonics, minuscule melodies appear and drift off. With no overdubs or
post-production effects involved, the compositions progress in an organic
and natural way, giving the music a special feeling and soul that is missing
from many recordings these days. This is Fear Falls Burning.
Fear Falls Burning is the new solo project by Dirk Serries from Vidna
Obmana. The FFB sound may appeal to friends of Sunn O))), Boris, Earth,
Troum, Robert Fripp and all connaisseurs of heavy guitar drone layers!
