Irezumi - Implosion

Review by Hau-yin Yuen

Irezumi's album Implosion is a haunting and mesmerizing experience that transports the listener to a world of dark, ambient soundscapes. The album is a masterful blend of electronic and acoustic elements, with haunting vocals and eerie instrumentation that create a sense of tension and unease.

From the opening track, "Black Light," the listener is drawn into a world of brooding darkness and introspection. The album's centerpiece, "Implosion," is a tour de force of atmospheric sound design, with layers of synths and percussion building to a cathartic crescendo.

Throughout the album, Irezumi showcases their ability to create immersive, cinematic soundscapes that evoke a range of emotions. "Broken Wing" is a haunting ballad that showcases the vulnerability of the album's vocals, while "Drowned World" is a pulsing, hypnotic track that draws the listener into its hypnotic rhythm.

Summary by Hau-yin Yuen

Implosion is an album that rewards repeated listens, revealing new layers of depth and complexity with each spin. It's a stunning achievement from a band that continues to push the boundaries of electronic music.
