“Through Thorns to Fear” (The Voice of KAA song)

Spectral shimmers of faint melody haunt the background of “Сквозь Тернии к Страху” (“Through Thorns to Fear” in English) by Голос КАА (The Voice of KAA). Like ghosts of former human activity in abandoned buildings just out of sight. When the vocals come in its like firmly whispered commentary on the state of things like a narrator for the Russian equivalent of The Twilight Zone. But the hovering buzzing sounds that zip in and out of the soundscape and swells of icy sounds lend it an aspect of a more supernatural science fiction especially when the vocals become distorted and mutated going into a more darkly ethereal passage as if we’re hearing mourning for a better time that will never be again. Musically it’s reminiscent of an especially spooky part of a song by The Legendary Pink Dots had the band been tapped to score Brandon Cronenberg film in its shadowy, industrial, ambient psychedelia.
