Neraterrae are a solo project from Italy that has been featured before in this zine and plays a mixture of death industrial, power electronics, noise, drone and dark ambient and this is a review of his 2019 album "The Substance Of Perception" which was released by Cyclic Law and consists of some session musicians and collaborations between some very well known artists from the dark ambient, drone, cinematic, and ritual music scenes.
Dark ambient style synths start off the album while rain sounds can also be heard briefly along with the music also adding in a great amount of atmospheric soundscapes. Spoken word parts can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording and a lot of the tracks are very long and epic in length.
Atmospheric sounding drones can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while one track also introduces throat singing into the music and it also adds in more of a ritualistic atmosphere. All of the tracks sound very different from each other and as the album progresses power electronics are also added into some parts of the music.
At times the music gets very avant garde and experimental sounding while some songs also add in some touches of death industrial and noise without getting chaotic or brutal sounding. Some of the session members on the recording are also known for their work with Phurpa, Treha Sektori, New Risen Throne, Flowers For Bodysnatchers, Taphephobia, Ugasanie, Xerves The Dark and Infinexhuma and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Neratarrae and you are a fan of death industrial, noise, drone, power electronics and dark ambient, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Shadows Of Regret" "The Wicked Pulse Of Conscience " and "Echoing Scars". 8 out of 10.
