Uncertainty Principle - Pounded by the Abrasive

Hell, it's been a long while since the last post, but here we are again with works by Uncertainty Principle. Its founder and the only participant S.P.White creates slow, abrasive music which one can perceive with difficulty. There are, of course, exceptions. His music is a mixture of funeral doom (slow'n'steady tempo, majestic atmosphere), harsh noise (jaggedly-abrasive sound in general) and ambient (fuck, just pieces of ambient). He's got quite a large discography including rather diverse releases. Besides, Mr. White is one of the participants of Null Collective.

Mistress of the Dead - Reverberated sounds of Inhumation

Vlad Cristea Vales is a productive Czech musician (having started in 2004, he has released 11 demos, 5 albums, 2 splits, and a compilation album) who specializes in impenetrating, strongly reverberated and monotonic soundtrack to obsequies - in genuine funeral doom. His discography is a collection of nineteen similar-looking pieces of incurable sorrow - it is really difficult to distinguish his releases one from the other. But notwithstanding this, all of them deserve a bit of your close attention.

Ankhagram - Creating a Funeral Doom Masterpiece

Ankhagram is a project of the cheerful Russian guy called Dead. This chap really believes that only doom metal can fully convey the fatality and hollowness of a human life and let us feel the cold and void surrounding us. And he will make you believe it, at least while you are listening to his music.

Methuselah - Do You Ever Sleep in the Abyss?

Ostiarii Wakim:

Weird music. It can put bodily and unexplainable fear into your heart, like works by H.F.Lovecraft do. You won't even understand which of the host of ponderous phrases frightened you most. That's the music of the eternal fall into a fathomless well with no walls at all, and the surrounding darkness is full of Soggoths. Music that you hear in your nightmares, but awakening is much more frightening. Weird music.

Stacheldraht:

This act is probably the very first ambient\doom work in my life which I can call eclectic. Well, it is eclectic after all, I think. The album starts with mild and soft ambient intro that shrouds you and to which some kind of oriental voices are later on added (actually I don't know for sure what these weird sounds are, so let them just be voices, huh). Minimalistic passages, thin drums and sounds of some kind of string ensembles reminding of neo-classic pieces, whisperings, growlings, other kinds of bla-bla-bla and a pinch of pianoes. Dark, gloomy, unusual, eclectic and, yes, a bit oriental - that, probably, would be the words to describe this album.

Monument of Urns - The great unknown one

There is very few information about this reticent project in the web. But we know something for certain. We know that this music is like a stodgy larva slowly weightin' you down, and below, and infra then beneath. We know that the voice sounds like a wail muffled by the thickness of the prejudice and the common sense which tied by the environment; it's like a wail breaking away anything and anyone. That's all we know. More truly  - almost all.

Shine, My Boregarden - Who dies in Moscow sewage

From the Cold Capital of Russia - Tyumen -  located in the heart of the snow-bound Siberian wasteland mr.Cacophonyx brings the Siberian funeral doom; oh, we mean that it's not exactly funeral and not exactly doom.

Its sluggish, rugged and tangibly cold sounds could have been born only in a frozen tyumenian soul warmed by joy juice. Certainly Darth is a misanthrope. But who if not a misanthrope can show us our true face? Face of the overdeveloped monkey.

Ego Depths – Self-cognition through the discomfort and suffering

Ego Depths is a Ukrainian/Canadian project which specializes in meditative, slow and extramundane funeral doom metal. His discography includes a demo, a full-length album and a couple of splits.
