Review by KEM
Nekrokatarsis, the latest album by Various, is a captivating and haunting collection of dark, experimental tracks that explore the depths of human emotion and the darker side of existence. From the eerie opening track, "The Black Sun," to the brooding, atmospheric "Elegy for the Dead," each song on the album is a unique and immersive experience that draws the listener into its macabre world.
The production on Nekrokatarsis is top-notch, with each track expertly crafted to create a sense of foreboding and unease. The use of distorted vocals, dissonant chords, and ambient textures all contribute to the album's overall sense of otherworldliness and darkness.
One standout track on the album is "Funeral Dirge," a hauntingly beautiful piece that combines mournful piano melodies with ethereal vocals to create a sense of sorrow and loss. Similarly, "The Descent" is a brooding, atmospheric track that builds slowly to a climax of distorted guitar riffs and thundering drums.
