MAERE - ....And The Universe Keeps Silent [CD]

The music, through repetition, causes a state of trance which is next to impossible to snap out of. The gargantuan riffs writhing, swirling around with purpose in the vast nothingness are far too compelling, and standing in the middle of the vortex, the listener, only gets sucked deeper into the void. It is clear that '... And the Universe Keeps Silent' is an outstanding, highly immersive debut full length from this German band having experienced members, and it's an album whose music will infiltrate and haunt the deepest and darkest recesses of the mind.
