Tag: Spectre Horsemen Pale With Dust

The title of “The Stars Gaze Back” by Spectre Horsemen Pale With Dust evokes both Nietzsche’s words about looking into the abyss and knowing it looks back into us and the imagery and concepts of H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror. Certainly the slow moving drone of the song creates a mood of tension and anticipation one might expect in a particularly dark thriller that heads in unexpectedly weird territory. With the sound of throat singing in the mix it already feels like something mystical but when a noise like a distorted oscilloscope hovers in like an alien vehicle paying a visit to a Stygian event the song warps into a more ambient version of what SunnO))) does with its own sonic architecture to open up the brain to emotional experiences that transcend linear time.
