Lord of Nightmare CD, 2006 Lord of Nightmare CD, 2006 (Reference #BMC66627CD)
The much-anticipated second album of hellish Black Metal from Japan's ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN! Immediately satisfying for fans of the groundbreaking [self-titled] debut album, "LORD OF NIGHTMARE" is an impressive follow-up that succeeds in expanding the horrific blackened atmosphere that has become ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN's signature sound. The pounding rhythms of the debut (previously compared to early SWANS and country-mates ZENI GEVA) have become much more pervasive, reaching deeper into doomy depths without becoming mired in sludge. The grinding guitar base retains it's bright yet abyssic and utterly maddening tone, all the while ushering the listener on a hair-raising ride through purgatorial vistas like the nightmarish tableaus of Heironymous Bosch's visions. A close comparison might be made to some of the more recent recordings of distinguished USBM veterans BLACK FUNERAL, but E.D.M. are more adept at supporting their audial torment with more dynamics and LESS repetition. Ghostly piano abruptly appear, only to give way to disembodied funereal choirs wailing incessantly in the background behind absolutely tortured, yet still enraged and grim vocals. Sometimes disturbing, often-times intoxicating and completely delirious, with a constantly foreboding atmosphere, ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN's "Lord of Nightmare" is a unique and distinctive, albeit 'exotic' facet of modern Black Metal that proves essential for intrepid cult fanatics with fearless and adventurous constitutions. Even fans of [old] EMPEROR, [early] ANAAL NATHRAKH, and San Francisco's now-legendary WEAKLING are well-advised to check out E.D.M.!

6 Songs; 37 minutes-- guaranteed to leave you wanting more! (March 29, 2006)
