Shinbu - Nightmarchers EP

A riveting, pitch-black listen with a superbly chosen arrangement of percussive work. Demolishing kicks and nightmarish ambience feature in equal measure and the whole record is better for its frequent dips into eastern, warlike themes–one to be uncomfortably enjoyed at the back of a dingy basement rave or an industrial warehouse.

Ternion Sound - DUPLOC043

Reverb and delay, as with any atmospheric dub or dubstep track, are instrumental in setting the tone, and the wetwork coupled with spooky pads make for some delectably dark listening.
