Microcosmos

"...Microcosmos delivers on all levels; the classic Drudkh style of intertwining melodies interspersed with clever acoustic interludes is exemplary, with the added benefit of tight and well formulated song-writing emphasizing the album's poignancy.
BMicrocosmos delivers on all levels; the classic Drudkh style of intertwining melodies interspersed with clever acoustic interludes is exemplary, with the added benefit of tight and well formulated song-writing emphasizing the album's poignancy. The four songs that comprise the brunt of the album are book ended by two short instrumental pieces, which both open and close the album on a gentle note. The in-between however, is a combination of aggressive riffing and despondent melody, although not without the added fragility that is a given with Drudkh. "Distant Cries of Cranes" immediately throws the listener into the album's bleak atmosphere, and the variation herein, particularly the deconstructed interlude towards the end in which the bass leads the way, keeps the song undeniably interesting and on edge.
