X-77

 

Hard to think of a more aptly title release than Nightmare. X-77 doesn't create a soundtrack to darkness on this 2021 Deathbed Tape; it's as if they create darkness itself. Murky ambient slow motion convulsions that take only seconds to develop...envelop you for what feels like an eternity. "Butcher's Window" is a masterpiece on its own, and in the company of ten more master/pieces it simply suffocates. Brutality has rarely sounded so measured.
