With influences ranging from the █ █ █ █ moodiest jazz music to black metal and trip-hop, NETRA has █ █ █ █ always been about challenging the listener's █ █ █ █ open-mindedness and the upcoming 'S°rbyen' album shows █ █ █ █ netra continuing to evolve its experimental sound using a █ █ █ █ palette of varying musical and artistic influences to █ █ █ █ create an album that is claustrophobic, organic, and █ █ █ █ unmistakingly depressing. A truly unique album that bridges █ █ █ █ the most unsuspecting genres together, S°rbyen, named after █ █ █ █ a neighborhood in Gj°vik, Norway in which the artist behind █ █ █ █ netra recently lived, could be described as a strange but █ █ █ █ fitting hybrid of BURZUM and HOOVERPHONIC. Either way, this █ █ █ █ release builds upon the foundations of the debut album, but █ █ █ █ is more far-reaching in its experimentation and manages to █ █ █ █ effectively introduce new elements to NETRA's already █ █ █ █ genre-bending sound while maintaining a certain nostalgic █ █ █ █ and depressing sound. █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ S.LeMoan - all music █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ --- █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ Hypnotic Dirge Productions seems to continually release █ █ █ █ high-quality albums from a variety of different artists. █ █ █ █ Many of the albums they release are by bands a little more, █ █ █ █ shall we say eclectic, with artists who like to experiment █ █ █ █ and push the boundaries of their respective genres. █ █ █ █ Netra's Sorbyen is however, by far the strangest release █ █ █ █ that I have heard from HDR yet. The album melds black metal █ █ █ █ with genres such as jazz, trip hop and at times even █ █ █ █ dance-like music! Sound weird? Well, it is, but the oddest █ █ █ █ part is that the album works really well when it really █ █ █ █ shouldn't. I don't think I would ever have thought I would █ █ █ █ like a release like this, but for some reason I really do! █ █ █ █ Sorbyen needs to be checked out by anyone curious about how █ █ █ █ to do something truly different in the metal arena without █ █ █ █ coming across as ironic or tongue-in-cheek. Top songs █ █ █ █ include "Crawling" and "I Shall Slay the Monkeys". █ █ █ █ █ █ █░█ █░█ █ █ 1. A Dance With the Asphalt 5:32 █ █ █ █ 2. Crawling 4:24 █ █ █ █ 3. S°rbyen 4:28 █ █ █ █ 4.
