The deep drones, bass pulses and disturbing soundscapes on this album seem to originate from some otherworldly region and worm their way through the listener's psyche (and into nightmares). Often, releases of this genre have a cold icy mood but the spirit of 'Nyx' is red-hot - even when the deathless long pauses occur within the tracks. Except for 'Nemesis' no rhythmic structures will be found here as an anchor. Time itself seems to be invalidated, experiencing this album will be as if you slipped into a black hole for an eternity. This is like watching waves crash against rocks in slow motion: there's a sense of movement and development, but it's almost as if that development is taking place on a grander time scale than what we are able to grasp. Truly epic and massive: enveloping and cleansing, the sound of tectonic plates colliding. Adjust the headphones - references are legion.
