Edo Depths is a one-man band from Donetsk (Ukraine). And what I've remembered due to the name of the project: according to some ideas, the man has an immortal, pure and unchangeable individuality, what is a kin for all men. Also, there is an Ego - superficial side product of man's being in a material world. Ego counts itself as real and asks for satisfaction, persists and subjugates and that's why there is a great sense to strict and differentiate your desires while trying to identify their origin... but that is philosophy... And Ego Depths is just a musical project where the author gravitates to weird and merciless funeral doom metal. Ego Depths represented here by two tracks with the total length about 30 minutes and both of them are, literally speaking, choking, destroying, and mutilating your consciousness... Surprisingly, both tracks possess quite well and strong record (this is not first experience of author in the art of musical researches, though). Moreover, the author had not been failed by his intuition - some tunes and vocal lines sound really intriguing. Perhaps, there is no rival of this work on the territory of Russian Federation for now, which would be able to compete... but I did not listen to last album of Abstract Spirit, maybe they could fight for a first place of most effective burial organization here. However, that is not the main thing... the present work is really strong and convincing in its sound, not only in "the best tradition" but also with an atmospheric zest... if there won't be that pathos, the amount of which on the official MySpace page is more than sufficient (this is Ego!), the whole impression would be better.
Dispersive Light is a project from Kiev and, frankly, "gladdens" my ears with its unkind drone/noise/ambient mixture, it's like a rough balm which you need to drink to overcome disease or surround in it's slimy embraces. When you're writing about the band like this, thoughts about violence, rusted iron and misanthropy come on mind unintentionally. "Sure Mrod" shows mystical, industrial drone which is hypnotic and at the same time obnoxious. This music is impossible to enrapture and simultaneously cannot be rejected. I
