Review:
11Paranoias return with full length, “Reliquary For A Dreamed Of
World”, which is by no means a modest album. It is more the keeping
of a procrastinated appointment with a voluntary, therapeutic
treatment process through a heavy audible nightmare, experienced by
the intelligent schizophrenic audiophile. This record augments and
holds the listener with heavy eyelids shuddered down by the sound of
bedlam, as your mind runs from reality into the album’s
outstretched chords, which embrace beyond the mere cortical structure
of auditory reason. The songs provide an overdose through a variety
of noises, all with different tones and glowing resonances. The tunes
are as follows…
Peripheral
Metamorphosis - this track dangerously throbs along with the band’s
own brand of distortion through nicely chosen amplifiers and slowly
keeps time while nudging vocal pain forward through the crude
atmospheric noise.
Destroying
Eyes – this is essentially metal music created in a sewer by slimy
“fishmen” who have been accidentally grown through an unexpected
experiment in waste management. These guys moonlight with the
underground utility company, speak to us in echolocation and once
they snake the pipes, they pick things up as the sound drives without
hindrances through a subterranean maze craze of crunch and commotion.
Avallaunius
– in this track you will hear octaves from the ocean fathoms,
showcasing a sea accident or maritime disaster with no identifiable
injuries. Cymbals explode and guitars feed back their surplus power.
Great stuff.
Mutus
Liber – this song is constructed with sepulchral bass donations
that fill an empty casket, alongside painful distorted guitar zooms,
both amidst mudslide vocals, all accompanied by drums to make your
earlobes quiver.
Mediation
On The Void – It is time to take a psychedelic ride down the
Floydian Fallopian tubes in order to witness the birth of besmirched
meat on Iommi’s butcher block. The use of sonic effects are sheer
perfection on this tune, advertising electric frenzy, manifested
under hallucinogenic influence, forever increasing the strength of
echoes, screams, whispers and unmitigated cybernetic madness. Lock
the storage shed, turn the volume to 11 and go somewhat insane on
your way to becoming a better person. This is a confident and choice
favorite.
Phantom
Pyramid is a track that was captured by the demented choir who
provide the background music for your confession to a mummified
priest who is stuffed with berries and oil, giving you your resultant
penance as a doom loaded milkshake with a multi paranoid sound
sprinkled topping. This is a splendidly made song and truly another
clear favorite on this album.
Milk
Of Amnesia is the most traditional song on the entire album. It is
short and catchy, making it time to shake hands once again with Mr.
Reality.
Overall
this album is a magnificent musical concoction that trudges through
one’s acoustical plumbing, removing the clogs of melodious
blandness that have accumulated through the common drivel barraging
our tune filled library.
This
is a recorded shrine, made by masterful princes, through
radiculopathic, doom trumpeted daffodils, that contains all the
musical relics and strange thoughts dedicated to a sonic dream world
of altered consciousness.
