DSKNT are a duo from Switzerland that has had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a dissonant and avant garde mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2021 album "Vacuum y-Noise Transition" which will be released in February by Sentient Ruin Laboratories.
Dark soundscapes start off the album before going into a heavier musical direction while a great portion of the tracks are very long and epic in length. When the music speeds up a great amount of war metal elements tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the music more of raw feeling.
Bestial growls are also a very huge part of the recording while the riffs also add in a decent amount of dissonant structures. Black metal screams are also utilized quite a bit throughout the album along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the solos and leads are also done in a very dark yet distorted style.
At times the music also gets very avant garde sounding along with all of the musical instruments on the recording also having a very powerful sound to them as well as one track also introducing elements of harsh noise into the music and as the album progresse4s a brief use of spoken word parts can also be heard. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover cosmological themes, void, unexistence and abstract concepts.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from DSKNT and if you are a fan of avant garde and dissonant black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Deconvolution J_ψ" and "Deconvolution Ξ-0 (Part II)". 8 out of 10.
