This is the debut release from three Piece Earthwomb from Lima Peru, and it is a soul-searching project that is of enormous depth and organic music. Shattering the conceptions that make up our daily and historical existence.
“’ The Gathering” is the deadest legend of a song. The atmosphere was created simply by tremolo picking combining it with military-Esque determination, neck cracking speed, intensity, and the sheer conviction of it all. The vocals are the projection of the musical soul and Earthwomb conveys it beautifully. Savagely.
The wall of sound created on the epic instrumental ‘’Trespassing the Paragons of Consciousness” is a glorious 6-minute adventure that takes elements of post-metal, black metal, distortion and combines it with touches of melody, harmony, and excellent musicianship that is confident, fearless, and not afraid of experimentation.
An EP that has the cohesion of an album, it uses the primal source of nature as inspiration and to analyze other deeply personal topics to traverse a musical journey of incredible power and maturity. It is hard to compare Earthwomb to others as they uniquely take some familiar elements and twist them, mutate them, and as on “Walkscapes” create a wholly moving experience. “Fractal Phenomenon” is simply heavy post/Black metal excellence.
Becoming Immanence is the beginning of something truly special.
