Lull – Continue (1996)

April 21, 2020

Lull is another project of Scorn / Napalm Death mad genius Mick Harris, focusing this time on dense ambient passages and atmospherics. I am reminded immediately of Lustmord, but push that aside to instead focus on the single, hour-plus unfolding track. Honestly, it’s fucking great.

It’s not as dread-inducing as some of the shorter Scorn ambient pieces (see Deliverance or the arse-end of Vae Solis) but instead meanders through thick, all-encompassing clouds of atmospheric blackness. It doesn’t stay still for long enough to conjure any urgency or paranoia, but the hour flies by all the same.
