Starting out with “Delerium Tremens” there’s an absolute
similarity to Burzums Hvis Lyset Tar Oss fused with other more
ethereal and psychedelic BM acts such as Velvet Cacoon, Caina, Alcest lifelover,
Petrychor…
“White Fire Laudanum” is another drug induced haze of
muddled emotional shrieking behind a collage of lush distortion sort of like
being string out on opiates (which they were actually) and recreating your
altered state through thick walls of melodic guitar chords. There’s a definite
nod depressive and melodic psychedelia such as Methadrone and Nadja.
“Dans la Souffrance” paints ironically beautiful images of
drug induced suicide being carried in an open field of tall wild grass in the
afternoon sun through dense churning chords of melodic turmoil.
“The Hermit Rain” sounds like the title actually, it
actually works well for following “Dans le Souffrance” as on here you almost
feel the release like the spirit has finally been freed through a peaceful
deaths slumber. The vocals continually scrawl and disperse from behind the mix
as smoke into the damp air.
Dhampyr is one of the best that I’ve heard so far in this
often slandered style, this stuff seriously is like an outer body experience
brought to you by two guys who were literally out of their minds while doing
this and the result is a dense and colorful suicidal poem scribbled by a
guitar, a bass, a synth, and drums and hallucinatory states. Turn on and let
the psychosis steal your soul.
Most of their work is mysterious and actually given away on
their site below, this is the first ever physical release of dhampyr work and
is still available so check it out on the Prison Tatt site alongside some of
their other incredible releases.
