This is part 6 in the "For The Love of Death" 12 CDR series, this outing features 4 tracks, just over 32 minutes. This disc opens with the title track, a rumbling drone of a piece, with distant clanks and reverberations peppering the murk. "Cleansing The Razor For Tomorrow" combines low hums with static washes and barely audible vocals and or samples, too quiet to discern that it is anything more than a voice. A slow pulse rises in the mix adding body to the foundation while abstracted tones give the illusion of far away melody. "Respirdal" is a 13 minutes piece rich with a rolling subterranean ambience and quiet echoes, simple but engrossing. "Fading Ember of Survival" blends restrained crackling electronics with a sub-bass throb that eventually swells to panning drifts distortions and piercing highs, and offers the most abrasive portion of the release before fading out gradually to conclude "Remembrance of Failures." This is another nice installment in the series, focusing primarily on subtle dark textures that I think reveal more the more acutely you listen.
