The leaked tape-rip sounds awful, as expected, but it's listenable.

Goddamn the songwriting sounds incredible but the only way to listen to it that I have found is, as Paz said, an awful sounding tape-rip

Damn I'm itching to hear this! And some dipshit already gave it a 3.

Well this band doesn't have lyrics about paedophilia so not surprised Maaninen Henki gave it a 3.

I might have turned a blind eye to one of those things but both together set my worry senses off a bit.

Yeah I'm awesome.

The new album sounds pretty fucking great.

Partway through 'Desperation In The Sky'. Some of those riffs, if you can even call them that, are absolutely otherworldly. Seems more melodic and euphoric in a minor way (actually gets way dark later on), but not a bad thing so far. Production is also incredible. Lots of bass.

Yeah, this is, like, the best thing I have heard in a long time. Wasn't sure even they / he could write something that could top the debut, but this has the potential to do so.

Now that these guys have become instant favourites, I'm so excited for this

This releasing the same year as Aluk Todolo's new one is like a dream. They couldn't be more attuned to my tastes if they tried.

It is great,indeed, but I cannot shake the feeling that his debut is the best thing ever, and hence everything else he does sounds inferior to that. Given the similarity in the styles, it means that everything by this band is somehow a disappointment for me ;(

I can see what you mean, but he does a whole heap of stuff here that he doesn't on the debut. Seems far more diverse song wise. It's different, but the same to me. Still exactly what I need.

A lot of this sounds improvised, not just the awesome guitar. I havent heard anything like this before.

Ok, I will follow...

....followed. The worst vocals I've ever heard in my life. The music is decent. Not sure what's so psychedelic about it tho.

I listened to a 320 rip, so the sound quality was good.

I was just taking a gamble that Alex Fenger was going to comment as I noticed the score jumped up since checking the page a few minutes before, and it was his 10 score that did it

Thats what I tried to listen to but the production was so bad that it ruined it. This is obviously interesting but as long as the production stinks I prefer Shataan.

Are we talking about the Bandcamp one, or the cassette rip? Can't see how anyone could have an issue with the way the sound is presented in the Bandcamp tracks; deep, dense and bassy and conveys the psychedelic layering and, as said, nigh-on improv-like background freeform guitars perfectly. 'Without Circumference Nor Center' would be an apt example of poor Arizmenda production. This is just about perfect, although the vocals could have been mixed a tad lower, but that's more personal preference than an actual issue.

The recent Shataan one is pretty average sound wise. Way too much treble and a bit on the thin side. [edit] This one does actually sound a tad better, but still suffers from booming loudness. Could just be Soundcloud. Not great either way though.

What the first available track originally sounded like when taken from the tape (wrong name though). Yuck.




Compared to this. Yum.

Thats better than what I have been listening to.

Bandcamp streams at a fairly low bitrate (128 I think), but a low bitrate with an intended mix is still going to better than a shitty tape rip at 320kbps.

This is all new to me. But now I have the better version. Thanks

You can download it for free in bandcamp. If you want to do it make sure that you check 320kbps or FLAC.

Didn't even spot that. Hope they're decently loud. Arizmenda has never really been loud enough for my mp3 player.

The fact that this is their shortest album is a plus.

This is the kind of music I hate for making me feel inferior as a musician

I put this behind Stillbirth In The Temple Of Venus is terms of quality.

Really? I put it directly after the debut and slightly ahead of Temple of Venus. What do you find lacking about it?
