END [?] СORRELATION

This EP is the last release of Senmuth in 2012, one of his most prolific years. As you may remember, it was the year of the Maya prophecy about the end of the principal cycle of their calendar. The two tracks titles are referring to the correlation between the Mayan and the Gregorian calendar and the two numbers are just the Mayan dates about which some studious were debating: was the first or the second the prophecy date?

Listening to the two tracks, I guess that Senmuth was more in favor of the second.

The first track is more ambient, even if the sounds are powerful, with the electronic percussion at high volume. The guitar is the main instrument and there's something Floydian in the melody which is based on just one minor chord.

The second track leans more toward metal, especially because of the rhytmic part sustained by a distorted guitar. With a different rhythmic section the discontinuous medioriental melody played by the guitar could be defined Floydian as well. Anyway, personally I like the first most.

A mention is deserved by the EP cover, painted as usual by Senmuth which helps entering the right mood.
