A nameless : : but by no means faceless entity, ╙REI╨A made its/their first : : public recording with Dem≤ I in 2016, which was soon released : : on cassette and 7" vinyl formats at the beginning of 2017 by : : HARVEST OF DEATH. Ensorcelled by the entity's monolithic : : trance-out black metal, HARVEST OF DEATH released in late : : 2017 ╙REI╨A's one-track/20-minute Dem≤ II on cassette, which : : was soon followed by a split 10" with Portuguese comrades : : HOLOCAUSTO EM CHAMAS the following year. : : : : With these but all-too-fleeting glimpses into true, brilliant : : madness, ╙REI╨A at last delivers its/their first full-length : : recording, ╙rei≡a. Its self-titled designation is : : significant, as this four-song/35-minute tome serves as both : : Ground Zero for the ╙REI╨A experience and also a statement of : : intent. With a sort of paradoxically "enlightened" : : primitivism, each of the album's four icy, component screeds : : surges into being and locks onto near-stasis, hovering and : : taunting in equal measure. Deceptively, each of those four : : epics seems comprised of one or perhaps two riffs total; : : delve deeper - or deliver thyself to TOTAL IMMERSION - and : : discover a wealth of textural magick, subtly dynamic details : : in which to drown and rearrange one's mental parameters. : : Likewise, the seemingly wholesale lack of vocals is both : : stark and stratifying; allow that immersion, that submission : : to drowning, and then truly hear reverse voices of the dead : : wafting up from the soundfield to whisper buried secrets. : : Through it all, a shimmering, stained-glass style of : : melodicism emerges (synth? more guitars? both?), : : simultaneously at odds with the lifelessly pulsing black : : metal at hand and making perfect, alternate-world sense. : : : _:_ _:_ /__ /\ /\ __\ __ /__/ /___ / \ ___\ \__\ __ /----/ /----/-- --\----\ \----\ ___ /\/ /________ ________\ \/\ ___ \/ /________ /___ . . ___\ ________\ \/ \ \ \ ___/ / /__ / \_ _/ \ __\ \ \___ / / / \ \ \ \___ / / \/ \ \ / / \/ \ \ ___/ / / / __\ \ \ _/ / _\_ __\ \ / /__ _/_ \ \_ / / /__ \___ \ \ \ / / \ __\ /__ / \ \ / / / ___/ \/\ \ / /___ \ \ ___ / / ___\ \ / /\/ ____\ / /___/___ ____ _\_\ / \___ /_/_ ____ ___\___\ \ /____ \____/ / _____/ / _/ \ __/ / / \_ \ \_____ \ \____/ -/ /__/------------\__ \ /___ __/------------\__\ \- / /__ / /_ / __\ \ _` / / /__ `_ / /_____ //_/ \ / /______/ \ / / \ \ / /__ __\ \ /__ / \ __\ / / \ \ / / \ \ / \
