This as uncompromising an album as you are likely to hear.
Drose exist on the outer fringes of experimental art-metal, creating songs swathed in hyper-drama , confronting the listener with chaotic bursts that shatter unstable silences.
The vocals are haunting, terrifying and vulnerable. The closest touchstone is probably Scott Walker's Tilt. Though the sound is quite different, they share a sense of dread and doubt.
There's nothing else quite like this. And to me, that makes it brilliant.
Favorite track: numerical control.
