YMDSIH - Opened Hate

Standing on the edge, body too close, feelings of security are a few feet back. This is the only position though, far enough over to hear the rumblings from the depths below. A geological orifice connecting the surface to the black unknown. An easy visualization, think of H.G. Wells' The Time Traveller peering over the rim of an entry in to the Morlock's subterranean world. Sonic aberrations welling up from indeterminable distances. Is YMDSIH a future race built around consumption of the remaining human populace? Or are these lengthy aural passages from beyond this earth and completely alien?

Opened Hate is the title of this engrossing darkly shaded drone amalgam of Jake Watkins and Josh Tabbia. Ten tracks split across roughly forty minutes, with song titles mirroring these whirring tones.
Amazingly the entire album was recorded live in one outing. When channeling these remote dimensions, the affinity for both points of prescience is well understood. Jake and Josh clearly reconstruct this Stygian sonic landscape. Pressing play like paying one coin to Charon, experience the divide as reality morphs with each stroke of the oar. The second to last track, Legacy of Nothing signifies the true point of culmination of this experience. Unfathomable mutterings stripped away leaving the consciousness to drift on its own accord. These measures remain intact slight through the last track, Northern Death, then the low decibel vibrancy returns again.

Released in cassette form on Already Dead Tapes and Records in mid November. In an edition of one hundred with copies currently available. A great return to drone for the label, if YMDSIH can compose and record all of this in one live session, future releases should definitely be in store.
