Kerovnian

FAR BEYOND, BEFORE THE TIME - Kerovnian [CSR24CD]. Available from Cold Spring Records, 8 Wellspring, Blisworth, Northants., NN7 3EH, England.

CONTAINING a wealth of beautiful albeit gracefully spikey Black Ambient coupled with the highly detailed and chilling artistry of Hieronymus Bosch, this CD from Croatian act KEROVNIAN retains a sustained atmosphere of low energy, occasional snarling and lingering choral tones mixed with the gargled rumbling of electronically mutated vocals. In fact this reminds me of a slowed-down version of LUSTMORD. Perhaps rather difficult to analyse or convey in a textual sense, but your ears will recognise and appreciate the quality immediately.
