Still - A Theft
(post metal, black metal)
(Hull, UK)
(Floodlit Recordings)

Among the clarity of these recorded works, A THEFT by STILL creates a powerful unease clearly meant to guide destructive shadows to their fall.

There is a darkness that humanity can experience that is without words. Darkness they would not wish upon another human being and it must be expunged at all cost. Where those who wade these murky arenas may find themselves sinking, it is the catharsis of extreme music that can be our life raft through the desolation and cold.

Often it is not passion one shares intentionally through this catharsis but a purging of anguish. What this experience does for their health may be confusing to some. This art is not for another person to specifically know nor understand. When this album connects, it connects at the right time and at the right level of frequency.

There is no expectation for everyone to grasp onto the vicious and discordant aggression the band delivers here. Screams of distress, massive riffs after blackened blasts with uncomfortable ambient passages, all bottled and writhing. It amazes me how it was captured in this state to translate so purely. A THEFT stands as a testament to one of the darkest listening experiences I’ve enjoyed in a long time.

We stand in black waters together and gaze upon a dark ocean to cleanse our wounds and bring us whole back to the earth.
