Beneath The Storm - Evil Reflection mp3 (2014)

"The one-man noise terrorist known as Beneath The Storm is back with his stunning 2nd album – Evil Reflections. And it makes his debut album sound like a collection of nursery rhymes. This album is 62 minutes of pure unwanted Funeral Doom Metal torture with added layers of Ambient based Sludge Metal added to fuck up your entire world.
Each of the songs are expertly played and written by one crazy as hell individual.
Evil Reflection is a dark, moody and unflinching ride into the darkness. Don't say I didn't warn you if this album leaves you an emotional shivering wreck.
A brilliant and twisted work of genius."
(The Sludgelord)

Hailing from Slovenia, Beneath The Storm is one man, Igor Simon, who also goes by Shimon. There is little information about whom or what he is. Beneath The Storm has one previous release, Temples of Doom, which was set free to roam the Earth in May of 2013. Just over one year later, Evil Reflection has been birthed and joins its twisted sibling. This new LP is over 60 minutes of terror of the kind that leaves you curled in the corner in a cold sweat, physically whole but mentally shattered.
The entire album feels tense and strained, like the tightness around your wide-open eyes in a pitch black room. The shortest track is just under eight minute; the longest clocks in at almost twenty. The vocals, when they choose to appear briefly from within the fog, are a strained, whispered screaming. The instruments combine to pummel you with doom that is not just a metal genre. This is actual doom, like the Angel of Death being visited upon your firstborn child.
Each of the six strained hymns builds upon one another. The record opens with an airy intro on ‘To Dust’. As soon as it starts, you feel the cold darkness crawling up your arms, making your hair stand on end. ‘Helen’ continues with one of the most sinister samples you’ll wish you never heard. The record culminates in the last track, ‘Frozen’, which is seventeen minutes of agony. I’ve gladly ingested hours of disturbing music over the years, but nothing has given me the creeps quite like ‘Evil Reflection’.
