Inanna - Day Ov Torment [Cold Spring - 2007]It easy to hear why Cold spring decided to re-release this edgy and pitch black death Industrial album from 1993, As it’s surprisingly undated and conjures up one hell of a dark vicious and blackly majestic atmosphere. The only thing that dates it slightly are the electronic rhythms, but when they do appear thankful there not too loud or jarring in the mix & never really take away from the musics dark timeless-ness. The album is made up of grandly dark string drones and choppings, evil choirs, ritual air, doomy piano cord strikes, church organ gloom, black eastern textures, weird guttural demonic animal breathing and sinister muffled/distorted vocals. From the outset to it’s last doom-toll, this swims in wonderful dark musty and decay waters of black grandeur. Almost like the soundtrack to always dark kingdo, it’s black scaly landmass doted with white bone and streached flesh buildings, where Towering and sinister gods rule over pale undead citizens. If Satan and his hence demons were every to take over our world this could well be the soundtrack to their glistening, painful yet majestic court. A Grim and demonic album, high with pitch black atmospheric and tense with slicing macabre-ness and dramatics. So come closer and stare into the eyes of the beast….... Roger Batty
