Physiology Of Darkness
Human Circle
Mara Production
Physiology Of Darkness comes from France. The featured album is packed with keyboards that fill the song space with an ominous energy in every track. The band also has some stand alone ambient moments and the ones that do interfere with their metal sound, although of course, and above all, it is a metal album.
From time to time you can get a taste of female, East-Oriental vocalization, or rather humming, as in a doom-black song Spiritual Elevation, which has some interesting guitar harmonies. Although the album opens with a slower, atmospheric Ritual Ceremony track, which hasn't aroused my interest around this record just yet.
Satanic Liturgy is fast and slow, but it is also a dark song that reminds me of Triptykon's achievements, vocally but also musically.
...Vocals of the album are spread out between low tuned vocals and spoken or sung vocals. Extreme vocals dominate. I noticed that the style of the album is also broader, I think that the band plays a mixture of morphing black / doom metal, with a pinch of death metal and ambient. And keyboards make this album just sound very atmospheric...
Act Of Deviation is a bit an avant-garde black metal song with guitar groove that sound very ominous.
The title track is another mid-paced song with male humming and clean vocal wails. In one half it is more doom-black metal, in the other half a composition is energetic and storming.
The instrumental Atonement is followed by a song called The Master's Speech - a more atmospheric doom-black metal piece, full of musical depth in excruciating space.
The ending track is called Delivery By Fire with black metal groove and slow hypnotic music that welcome you to its darkness.
I think Human Circle is an atmospheric album, not very sinister, but definitely quite mysterious.
