Forced Evolutionary Virus, the latest album by Pollux, is a masterful work of dark ambient music that transports listeners to a world of haunting atmospheres and eerie soundscapes. From the opening track, "Viral Infection," to the closing piece, "Mutated DNA," the album takes listeners on a journey through the twisted and corrupted world of the virus.
The production quality of the album is top-notch, with each track perfectly crafted to create a sense of unease and dread. The use of field recordings, found sounds, and manipulated samples adds to the otherworldly feel of the music, and the use of distorted beats and glitchy effects creates a sense of chaos and disorientation.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Infected Cells," which features a haunting melody that is slowly overtaken by static and noise, creating a sense of decay and destruction. Another standout track is "Viral Apocalypse," which features a driving beat and pulsating synths that build to a climax of distorted noise and feedback.
