Subverge - Xoubec

Arcane Dirge present the third release from Subverge, side project of Henrik Karlsson of industrial act Seven Trees. The corridors of "Xoubec" mirror the darkest and most baneful aspects of the human psyche. Explore vast, desolate aural wastelands in the opener Pitch Black Realms, then feel your consciousness ripped away as the album builds into a crescendo of haunting melancholic fury in Splintered Cries. "Xoubec" consists of 9 tracks of ritualistic industrial dark ambient that are heavily influenced by the classic Cold Meat Industry sound.

Over its course it rises from the depths of somber industrial catacombs, building furiously into a tapestry of harsh and crushing aural landscapes, providing a journey that traverses the cold and uncaring wastes of the human experience. It is sure to deliver one of the most haunting listens of the year. Overall, the album is both a mixture and an evolution upon its predecessors "Zechrum" and "Etterath", and will appeal to fans looking for evocative and darkly atmospheric ambient music. Recommended for fans of In Slaughter Natives and MZ.412, and similar Cold Meat Industry/related acts. Subverge also has a bit in common with early Delerium in structure and atmosphere.
