ElectronicDeathBlackDogs – Hinterland (Album – Winter-Light)
Genre/Influences: Dark-Ambient, cinematic.
Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: Scottish artist Roddy Graham is now active for a few years under the ElectronicDeathBlackDogs moniker. He released several albums by different labels and now joined hands together with Winter-Light to unleash his newest opus “Hinterland”.
Content: The work reveals a dark sonic approach which is constantly moving in between Dark-Ambient and obscure Cinematic work. The tracks have been progressively built up and have been sticked together creating the sensation to listen to one single, extended, piece of music. You’ll notice different field recordings and passages with overwhelming sound treatments.
+ + + : I like the visual appeal of the work which has an apocalyptic effect to me. This effect is created and accentuated by tremendous sound blasts which are mainly coming through at “Hollow Hills”.
– – – : My single regret is the absence of an absolute climax.
Conclusion: ElectronicDeathBlackDogs is a cool addition to the Winter-Light roster although I’m sure there’s even more potential hiding in this project then what you can hear at “Hinterland”.
Best songs: “Hollow Hills”, “Hinterland”, “The Dust Of Decay”.
Rate: 7½.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
