SK2N – Derealization (Album – SK2N)
Genre/Influences: Cinematic, Dark-Ambient.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: SK2N is a Czech solo-project. The new work released by the end of last year has been announced by the artist as the result of important changes in his life; living isolated and disconnected from the world and social media.
Content: The sound universe of SK2N is a meticulous mix between obscure Cinematic sound creation and pure Dark-Ambient influences. The tracks have been progressively built up until reaching their ultimate point.
+ + + : I was deeply impressed by this album creating a true sonic bridge between Cinematic- and Dark-Ambient music. The obscure, disturbing sound atmosphere is tickling our darkest inner thoughts so the visual strength of the work is obvious. I also want to mention the way the tracks have been constructed with overwhelming sound treatments. Tracks like “Desolation”, “Degradation”, “Devastation” and “Desperation” reveal the genius of this composer.
– – – : No real minus points to mention.
Conclusion: “Derealization” is one of the best Dark-Ambient / Cinematic releases from the past years. This work will appeal to fans of labels like Cyclic Law, Winter-Light ao.
Best songs: “Desolation”, “Degradation”, “Devastation”, “Desperation”, “Deprivation”, “Deformation”.
Rate: 9.
