Dutch Ainsoph has dropped a new track, "Seven Mouths In The Neck", from its approaching album, Affection And Vengeance, due on 14 March via Wolves Of Hades.
Blending melancholic post-punk soundscapes with experimental black metal eruptions, the single perfectly captures the band's evolving sound and emotional depth, setting the stage for a powerful release.
Five years ago, an entrancing piece of aural magick Ω - V was released unto the ether, an awe-inspiring work of wonder and dreamlike gazing introducing Ainsoph into this mortal coil. Now, the time is nigh for a new offering, one which is purveyed by the elements which enthralled the heart and soul in 2020, further heading into another level of contemplation, of a feverish will to feel and disassociate, to exist and disintegrate.
Affection And Vengeance is deeply moving in its capacity to evoke raw emotion from profound regions through its utterly immersive sound. Pulsing beats mimic throbbing hearts, abreast gashing riffs and licks, thoroughly moving with its many shades and colours, as urgent as it is bucolic, burning with life as it serenely contemplates the void. The group's reverberations grasp a new apex as the electric, hypnotizing wall of sound embraces the listener in a solitary pathway where variety is yet again a feature in the creations of Ainsoph. A dichotomy is not only breathing in the album's title - it is felt in how the Dutch entity thrives through catchy, melancholic post-punk pastures - where the wonderous voice of I.V. sparkles and moves - or blast-beating black metal-inspired outbreaks, incurring in experimental traits that enrich this audial palette, showcasing Ainsoph reaching new heights in intensity and climax.
Affection And Vengeance is a thorough experience into the nadirs of the mind, body and soul, a sorrowful, pleasurable and certainly unforgettable voyage over and beyond ethereal planes of ecstasy. Link
