Barus have heavy, big, sharp riffs that move from elliptic rhythms
to full circle, slow stomping. The singer at times speaks, as if his describing
something that has taken control and rules over us and other times shouts with
intensity, while the riffs move in curved formation. The drum patterns form
changing structures, painting an ever evolving and moving structure that can
swallow everything. Each song engages the listener with hooks and evolves
smoothly. They feel as a vortex that is not only awe inspiring but also
soothing and relaxing. “Our doom is imminent so we might as well accept it and
enjoy it”, the singer could preach before the riffs take their place at the
front. This is their debut EP and it’s a damn impressive one. Go on then.
Listen to it! The EP has a name your price tag.
Hadit is Chaos, as described by Thelema. They are also a band that
moves in the blackened/deathened side of darkness and they create suffocating
atmosphere. This EP, an Introspective Contemplation
of the Microcosmus, is an intense and thick entity that uses melody as
something that exists only in the surface of everything. It is bait and the
riffs are coming out in waves before they sink back into the black chaos. As
the listener sinks deeper, the riffs and the guitars close in, the drums are
hitting relentlessly, until they back up and a doomy pace takes the lead,
allowing the song to breath and the voice to rise higher. It is a meditation on
chaos, obviously, but it is not as chaotic as it may seem at first. There is
structure, there is depth and life in it, but it is so thickly built within the
walls of the music that the listener has to allow himself of herself to sink
within it. It will not come to you. You need to go there and live it. This is
definitely not music for jogging, or for anything else for that matter. Just
listen attentively, in a meditative state and it might grow within you.
This is cassette only, limited to
150 copies, and streaming. Streaming is good. I like streaming. Streaming it
is.
