Institution D.O.L are a duo from Austria that plays a mixture of power electronics, industrial, ritual, dark ambient, electronica and field recordings and this is a review of their 2021 album "The Thelema Tapes" which will be released on June 25th by Edged Circle Productions.
Dark ambient style pianos start off the album along with some ritualistic spoken word parts a few seconds later. Most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length Power electronics and noises are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the music also having its experimental and avant garde moments.
Samples of Aleister Crowley speaking are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the music also mixes in a good amount of electronica and industrial sounds. Chants can also be heard at times along with the field recordings also enhancing the occult atmosphere of the music when they are utilized.
Synths are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording along with the power electronics also having their harsh and brutal moments as well as each track also sounding very different from each other, choirs can also be heard on the closing song. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics cover Aleister Crowley and the religion of Thelema.
In my opinion Institution D.O.L are a very great sounding mixture of power electronics, industrial, ritual, dark ambient, electronica and field recordings and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this duo. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Flight of Horus" and "Sex With A Satanist". 8/5 out of 10.
