Contemptus Mundi/Blessed Is He/Kalpamantra/2011 Album Review


  Contemptus  Mundi  are  a  band  that  plays  dark  ambient/drone  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2011  album  "Blessed  Is  He"  which  was  released  by  Kalpamantra.

  Synths  bring  a  very  dark  ambient  drone  sound  to  the  music  with  a  mixture  of  short  and  long  songs,  while  the  sound  effects  bring  a  very  dark  avant  garde  experimental  sound  to  the  music  as  well  as  some  distorted  noises  that  are  amplified.

  Vocals  are  all  spoken  word  parts,  while  the  songs  revolve  around  Darkness  and  Lovecraft  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  dark,  raw  and  primitive  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  Contemptus  Mundi  are  a  very  great  sounding  dark  ambient/drone  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  style,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Seven  Gates  Of  Death  (Yaldabaoth)"  and  "Hyle".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
