It’s just a graveyard, man.

The next release in the b e g o t t e n 自杀 saga is here: (phantom psalms) – 幻影诗篇.

This release strikes me as the “low” point of this artist’s life. Not low as in quality, but low as in rock bottom depression. If hushwave was the light and airy, even vaporous, release, then this is the heavy, slow moving, hulking counterpart. They are the sounds of a mad person; someone who had gone off the deep end.

From the onset of the very first track, my heart felt like it had a weight pressing into it. Like sleep paralysis, I was terrified and yet my body completely relaxed. From the choice of chords and textures of the samples down to the lyrics, this album hits me probably most hard of all the b e g o t t e n 自杀 releases.
