Gonemage are a solo project from Dallas, Texas that h as had music reviewed before in this zine and on this recording plays a mixture of post black metal and chiptune and this is a review of his 2021 album "Sudden Deluge" which will be released in November as a joint effort between Xenoglossy Productions, Bif Money Cybergrind and Red Truth Productions.
Percussion's start off the album before going into more of a heavier and experimental direction. Elements of chiptune are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and all of t h e musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are a mixture of depressive black metal screams, shouts and clean singing while the songs also add in a great amount of session musicians When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with some touches of garage rock, indie and post hardcore also being utilized at times.
Acoustic guitars and female vocals can also being utilized briefly along with some tremolo picking and blast beats also being utilized briefly when the music finally speeds up which also gives the album more of a raw feeling as well as one song also adding in some spoken word parts, programmed beats are also a very huge part of the recording and the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are a concept album and continue the Currator's story from the previous release with some sci-fi and fantasy touches.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Gonemage and if you are a fan of experimental post black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Shifted" "{Gumubulang Na Alon" "Wisteria Sights (Pushed to Extreme Delight)" and "Delirium". 8 out of 10.
