Vhorb
"Terlingua"
Primitive Temples 003
Edition of 50
Mastered by J. Stillings
2017
"VHORB is loss without words, without meaning. Pain amplified, looped, calculated, frozen in a free-fall of darkness, in perpetuity. Turning the release valve away from reason, demanding an act of surrender - where every auditory element expunged through exhaust is recycled and fed as barbed stimulus to the listener. The subtle touches of... restraint only act as a taunting momentary threat, as meditative screams & calls are powered by an undercurrent of rhythmic, lo-fi industrial rumblings. This 5-song demo is a transportive experience that immediately propels one into a position of submission - only to use gradual, organic treatment to cradle the listener into a waking dream of ambient solemnity. A unique harsh noise approach, from the minds responsible for Husere Grav & Ecocide."
-J. Morse
Vhorb are by no means black metal, but the essence of the project feels like it necessarily sits squarely adjacent to black metal. Kind of like very early Husere Grav (“Haunted Tomb,” “The Great Empty”) or maybe even Doppleganger. It edges right up and alongside black metal…pressing firmly against the structured walls…and leeches its shadows. The sticky umbra is then roughly shaped into semi-comprehensible entities. Presences that are formed from and then back into the formless.
