Hailing from Lithuania, Surdr and Seagull Overseas are both one-man projects making some of the best dark ambient I've been exposed to. Surdr's side deals with a concept of meditation without cultural influence, so as to have closer contact with one's soul without derailment from outside forces. The notable track "37," which seems to defy from the rest in genre without straying away from the central theme, while Seagull Overseas' "Night of Past," stands out, and pleasantly so, as the only track with vocals as well as the application of guitar for more than droney sounds. The sides each, for the most part, share a common feel throughout, Surdr's being that of a wave, where as the other is more droning and constant Surdr and Seagull Overseas each have myspaces which can be found at [1] and [2], respectively. In addition, Seagull Overseas' website can be found at [3]. All material released by these artists can be downloaded for no charge from their respective sites.

There isn't an album that I own that is like this, it will haunt your mind and plague your ears with harsh noise, spastic break beats and ambient chaotic rhythms that seemingly flow amazingly together to craft the sounds of the apocalypse. It is simply mind blowing and really shows off the genius of these two artists.

Get this album or you will be missing out on a true masterpiece, words can simply not express how amazing this is. Even if you hate noise, you simply can't miss this album.

Shit and Shine have been assaulting audiences with their unique take on barely controlled, forcefully percussive, and endlessly repetitive stoner-skronk for the better part of a few years, they’re far from a known entity even in their home country of England. With a lineup that often balloons to encompass as many as five drummers/percussionists at any one time, the records they’ve unloaded on the public thus far betray not only a constantly fluctuating lineup, but also the different approaches to brute force hostility a variable membership like theirs necessarily entails.

The seven songs here are a strong, smart combination of pummelling riffage and carefully-planned changes, something like a Ruins' 45 played at 33 – or a more complex updating of Godflesh. There's a surprising amount of variety, given that it can be tricky to individualize tracks when they're instrumental and this heavy; it's nearly all deep, aggressive rock churn, dominated by smashing drums, ultra-low grinding bass and guitar that shoots off shards of distortion in all directions. The ingredients don't vary much, it's the mixture of them that maintains interest. And, wisely, Noxagt display an awareness of the listener's attention span, keeping the album at an easily-digestible 38 minutes.
