Weakling - “Dead As Dreams”
Easily my favorite Black Metal masterpeice of the last ten years.
“Take Darkthrone, Shape of Despair, Sunn O))), Burzum, early Emperor, the scary parts of early Tangerine Dream, vocals that are an indecipherable cri du coeur, the omnipresent extended technique rumble of intentional bass feedback, and the shadows of clouds floating over the Californian sky. Shake until you get a blend of mid-tempo pure darkness interspersed with bits of shimmering atmospheric beauty where everything just clicks. That’s Dead as Dreams, this San Francisco band’s first and only release.”
6/5 stars. A quintessential piece from any sagacious Black Metal collector. The sky is falling on this one. Research.
