5 stars The figure of Brian Williams towers over the whole stage of the dark ambient, it can not be defeated, not demolished, like the statue of Jesus in Rio de Janeiro, he looks over all the dark matter generated by such a "musical" (in a good way) genre. The Place Where The Black Stars Hang is an example of Lustmord's canonical work.

This album throws back both infinitely tense and intimidating soundscapes of Heresy, and the radicality of Monstrous Soul, and now before the eyes, well, or in front of the ears of the listener only endless expanses of cold and uncomfortable space. The feeling of comparative softness of the material is artfully deceptive, as we already have a completely different opening, sky-high level of darkness, more vague, more frightening and therefore more fascinating and striking imagination.

The Place Where The Black Stars Hang is an example of the perfect game with psychoacoustics, in its own way progressive thing, magnificent from the initial Sol Om On to the final passages of Dog Star Descends. Individual highlights - Dark Companion and especially Metastatic Resonance. A truly mesmerizing composition! This album for me is Lustmord's magnum opus and one of the key ambient creations in the history of music. An absolute masterpiece.

Peacock Feather | 5/5 |
