This is a review of a recording from U.S.A's solo project The Slumbering which shows the music going for a mixture of harsh noise and doom metal and the album was released in 2023 as a joint effort between Aesthetic South and Trepanation Recordings and called "When We Forget It Repeats".
Power electronics start off the album along with some whispered chants and harsh noises a few seconds later. Synths and effects are also utilized quite a bit throughout the album while aggressive sounding screams can also be heard at times as well as a lot of the songs bringing in more of an improvised direction.
Some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length while a lot of the music sticks to more of an instrumental direction. When electric guitars are utilized they also bring in the heaviness of doom metal along with some percussion also being added into certain sections of the album, demonic voices are also introduced on a couple of songs and as the album progresses a small amount of industrial touches can also be heard.
On this recording The Slumbering focuses more of a very diverse style of harsh noise as well as mixing in the heaviness of doom metal to create something very original while the production also sounds very dark.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from The Slumbering and if you are a fan of harsh noise and doom metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Be Afraid if God Was Really Watching" "Corporal Travels" "Suffocation Of The Inner Love" and "You Where Betrayed". 8 out of 10.
