      Thank you for mentioning this. I'm very glad that Melon reviewed this and is therefore bringing more attention to the project, but even the most basic amount of research (or maybe just reading into the lyrics a tiny bit more) would have shown him that the album (and the project in general) is about surviving domestic violence and abuse, and even a form of acting out revenge against her abuser (and the abusers of many other women). Still, good on him for reviewing it - and for realising it's not a metal album (as many other reviewers seem to think it is), as well as for the 9.

    • @gmdille
      @gmdille Před 5 lety +63

      Listening to "Do You Doubt Me Traitor?" and holy fuck the energy is unreal. So much emotion. Her anger, fear, hatred, disgust, and desperation all come through, somehow. I've never listened to anything like this. I consider myself to have pretty wide-ranging tastes but this has really opened my eyes (my ears?). This music is sad and solemn and violent and angry and sincere and beautiful and I'm about 5 minutes in to the second track.

    This album is meant to take the listener through the cycles of abuse as experienced by hayter within a relationship.
    It goes from screams of pain to lilting melodies to mimic how the “good” moments can seem angelic compared to the many moments of pain. She goes into it much more in interviews. Definitely explained why it made me cry instantly.

    I hope acts like Lingua Ignota and Uboa are leading this new type of dark ambient that just bleeds that gothy, tortured, primal aura metal’s been soaking in for the past musical era.
    Or maybe this style has existed for a long time, and I’m just now finding out about it :).
    Regardless, to me, these acts seem so cutting edge in a way that makes my soul rend. I am very excited for what comes out of this scene in the future.

    • @i.hold.vertigo2329
      @i.hold.vertigo2329 Před 5 lety +3

      The main artists behind Lingua Ignota and Uboa have gone through some really difficult times. I'm not sure how thrilled they would be to hear that what they do could be a part of a scene.
      I get what you mean though, it's music that feels overwhelming and vital. And I'm sure the artists themselves have a complicated relationship with their art since it comes out of such terrible circumstances.
      Honestly, I'm not sure I'd want to hear more people taking on this style. I think music fans focus too much on the content of the music and not enough on the artist. They need to be ok too.

    i personally think that there wasn't enough justification for not giving it a higher score. A low 9 is obviously still a fantastic score, but an album that manages to be lyrically and conceptually brilliant, whilst still being moving, ethereal, and even catchy upon sound alone deserves a decent to high 9 at the very least. There really isn't a bad track, and there really isn't a bad performance, and there really isn't anything wrong with it, outside of personal taste. It's one of the most deeply moving and visceral works of art I've ever experienced, and we seem to share a lot of the same opinions outside of score, which confuses me. great video though, and opinions are opinions, I'd just like to hear any imperfections with the album that there are.

      @xevino833 Před 3 lety +3

      I think the first half is magnificent, truly an experience, but at the second half, the "calm before the storm" even though it was musically incredible as itself, but if we were judging a record, how strong the purpose, the expression and the flavor affect to the experience that has other tracks have something to do about, i would say the "calm" in the second half was a bit too undefined, hard to intrepret into a truly sorrowness like how she did with the piano ending of "may failure be your noose", second half didnt really make a strong enough reach to the climax as well as making clear of what the rest is going to be about from the beginng, so it falls below the raw impact we get from before.
