Aelter II – “Follow You Beloved” – [Wolvserpent]

Out of the depths of Idaho percolate these two sidelong pieces from Aelter II. To describe them as intense is an understatement, and Thurston Hunger’s observation that they are raga-like is astute, as always. Male vocals emanate from the murkiness from time to time to add just the right touch of gothic atmosphere. B is somewhat more disturbing, while A is somewhat more soothing (I thought it was a locked groove because it seemed to go on and on, in a good way).
