Altered Zones

Forest of Evil opened the door in April, and now, with the release of Liberation Through Hearing, UK duo Demdike Stare commune openly amongst the ruins of the afterlife. The title comes from a concept in the Tibetan Book of the Dead and alludes to the path to rebirth once struck into the murky waters of said afterlife. With Demdike's position on the darkest end of the dubstep spectrum, tottering just between beat and hauntology's most twilight passages, it seems a fair enough choice of soundtrack to fumbling through the mists of transitory life. With this release feeling much more expansive than its predecessor, curiosity is high for what the final installment holds. (via Raven Sings the Blues)
