Empty of All False Dreams

by Cloudling

supported by

Michael The Thergothon-esque cover caught my eye... of course it's not funeral doom, but I don't know what to call this. It's largely acoustic/folk, field recordings, drones, but there is a definite underlying metal aesthetic. Whatever it is, I found it emotionally devastating. The kind of music that yanks you out of your mundane existence and connects you with the universe. Favorite track: Ail Don.

Evergreen This album is quite honestly a masterpiece. Granted, at the time of writing this, I have only listened to it once. But I know that I will be listening to this and digesting it for many days to come. Beautiful and warm synth textures with folk elements and an overall psychedelic shimmer... This is a stunning album.
