3 stars Chaos. Exactly chaos. Wondering what AVARUS wanted to say 'in the tower' (in English, "Tornissa") in 33 minutes. Self- interpreted polit dissonance filled with improv sound formations and oriental, tribal energetic atmospheres ... I have no idea if such a phrase like this would be appropriate for their soundscape. Synthesizer-based melody lines are quite surrealistic and ultradimensional, and percussion-oriented rhythm bases are pretty ethnic, ancient, and conventional. Such a mysterious musical collective should be natural and essential in a religious ceremony or ritual. And from the beginning of this suite created with a collection of randomized funky tunes and light but methodical percussion sounds, it's mystic that the flavour and taste is sweet and aromatic.

Such a designated flow does not change in the middle part, formed with slow and steady rhythmic grounds and heavy fuzzy bassy tips. Sounds like each instrument plays and makes sounds in a selfish or self-centered manner but the sound combinations by all creators and instruments should be very positive and unified. On the other hand, we can enjoy more rock-ish electric guitar plays and distorted synthesizer discharges around them in the latter part. Not a simple electronic but a balanced matured mixture of rock and ambience. Incredible power should be involved in their sound collective. Such an innovative music hotchpotch in AVARUS holds the similarity to the polit pioneers of Krautrock. Chaotic explosions are always awesome.
