‘Drops of Storm’ is the track I especially took notice of (my personal favorite), with the use of some beautiful dissonance complimented by some rhythmic leads that often give way to resolution, making for overt oscillation. In the midst of the maelstrom ‘Kingdomless’ provides us with what seems like an anchor point, if you can visually imagining shapeshifting, alien-like tides amassing and dancing around you… with some great leads that pull things back into an almost trance like territory (picture, if you will, an even more psychedelic version of Urfaust) that makes the track feel incredibly large in stature when combined with those aforementioned towering compositions. This track has a huge melting effect on the listener with a subtle present, complimented by the sense of the majestic (there are some build-ups in this track that are also worth taking note of). It is also a fitting follow up to ‘The Missing Stars’ as this track has a “rip current” affect on the listener… it drags you further out into the world of Derhead with the following ‘The Death Of You’ now being the ensuing futile struggle, incidentally.
Thus, the informed should be well aware of the similarities this offering shares with the likes of The Great Old Ones and Blut Aus Nord. There is a sense of the familiar stranger to this track, as it writhes and ferments, lending it a huge, organic feel.īeing an already streaming single, ‘This Chaos Is For You Only’ is hopefully a track most of you would have become familiar with. Opener ‘The Missing Stars’ invites you into the harrowing void, with a sense of kaleidoscopic churns pulsating and retreating in hypnotic fashion… before collapsing into an uneasy tense lull, only to begin the convulsions again. The Grey Zone Phobia, main man Giorgio Barroccu‘s stunning debut album and fifth Derhead release overall, continues themes explored on prior EP Irrational I: the link between memories and dreams, the contrast of realities and our own inner experiences… and the lyrics even reference studies from philosopher Henri Bergson on the matter. Beautiful, hallucinatory tones undulate in and out of resplendent compositions that reach the heights of intoxicating symphonies, and it’s something that leaves an imprint on you mentally it fulfills that yearning for explorative curiosity that we all inherently have. Italian one man avant-garde black metal outfit DERHEAD presents us with a vision of tension that sways between the subtly psychedelic and the traversing infinite.
