Then an album like this one comes along.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A collaboration between long-time acquaintances Dur\u00e1n V\u00e1zquez and Dani Kloob,&nbsp;<em>Vinum Sabbati, In the Dawn of Science Fiction<\/em>&nbsp;is a loose tribute to the works of author Arthur Machen. It certainly evokes horror and sci-fi tropes, with deep drones, shifting atmospheric elements, and hazy textures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album begins with a disorienting but relative calm that hangs in the air like a threat. Whispers of melody peek around corners to accentuate static-laden layers of sound. But slowly, track after track, the intensity ramps with more assertive themes and motifs as well as thicker and denser walls of noise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time&nbsp;<em>Ominous Remedy \u2014 Transcending Human Condition<\/em>&nbsp;reaches the listeners\u2019 ears, a distinct tension begins to build through repeating patterns. Buzzing and clicking give way to a synthesized rhythm and scintillations, which are replaced in turn by a massive, suffocating storm of distortion that growls and churns, swallowing all traces of light. Forceful and exhilarating, all notions of ambiance are gone as these gritty, hissing drones increase to a wall-shaking amplitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an excellent recording that was released November 11, 2025 by Cr\u00f3nica. Make your celebrations infernal by giving it a try this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>via <a href=\"https:\/\/avantmusicnews.com\/2025\/11\/20\/amn-reviews-duran-vazquez-kloob-vinum-sabbati-in-the-dawn-of-science-fiction-2025-cronica\/\">Avant Music News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every so often you might start thinking that you\u2019ve heard all that the experimental ambient genre has to offer.
