Труп Колдуна returns victorious with a captivating set of esoteric bedroom composer songs. Split into two distinct halves, Prophecy Of The Bleeding Bloom hits a stride as the quirky Dungeon Synth motif collides with cryptic Fantasy tunes in pleasing union. The record kicks of with a string of alluring mystical instrumentals, unusual and enchanting, almost lullaby like with an undercurrent of daker obscurity yet to unravel.
The glistening Stellar Citadel perks ones ears. Star twinkling melodies bestows the arrival of drum machine percussion. Its pounding bass kicks embus a driving Synthwave alike energy that will frequent the second half of its runtime. On the proceeding All In Vain, scowling howls enter the fold, empowering this lurking dark underbelly to come forth as its final songs lean into this obscure union of sound.
A curious dance energy accompanies the abrasive echoing cries. Melodies melt in its wake. The whole thing feels held together with duck tape, yet it works wonderfully. Exploiting simple rhythmic pleasures, twisting and corrupting tunes in heresy, a charming abomination blossoms. Although I don't feel a sense of lasting impact, this is a delightful, entertaining, yet brief encounter with a truly bizarre oddity of sound.
