Album Review
Ovskum – “Atto I – Atto II” – [Insikt]
whngr 5/28/2021 A Library, Cassette
Low fidelity depressive Black Metal from Italy circa 2006.
A dream of profound sadness and loss in four dismal parts.
Buried electric guitar, buried drums (could be a sack filled with coins?), buried voices, buried ambient drone, buried lute (could be a zither)?, buried feedback, buried acoustic guitar, buried animal sounds (vulture?).
Murk, gloom, sorrow and doom tie these tracks together on a cassette that may or may not be the legitimate release (it does not match up with online information) from Insikt Records. Neither harsh nor intense this is like a diary entry written in tears, grieving the loss of one’s innocence or a profound loneliness that cannot be quelled in life… fortunately death is an inevitability, unlike love and hope.
