Germany's [BOLT] have returned with a new recording where they team up with Canada's Aidan Baker to create a mixture of black, doom, sludge metal, ambient, experimental, drone and noise and this is a review of t heir 2021 collaboration album which was released as a joint effort between A Thousand Arms, dunk! Church Road, Bird's Robe Records and New Noise China.
Drone orientated soundscapes start off the album while both of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. At times the music also gets very experimental sounding while the bell's also give the music more of a ritualistic feeling when they are utilized and bass guitars when t hey are utilized show some influences of black, doom and sludge metal.
Guitar sounds can also be heard in some parts of the recording while both of the tracks are also instrumental. Elements of noise can also be heard at times along with all of the music also being improvised along with the synth also adding in touches of ambient when they are utilized and also gives the music more of an atmospheric feeling and percussion can also b e heard briefly.
On this recording [BOLT] team up with Aidan baker to create a recording that is less metal influenced than previous releases and goes for more of a mixture of noise, experimental, ambient and drone as well as keeping everything instrumental while the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collaboration between [BOLT] and Aidan Baker and if you are a fan of black, doom, sludge metal, ambient, experimental, drone and noise, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACK (35)/Clover". 8 out of 10.
