“Invoking the spirit of Attila-era Sunn O))) but on a mitochondrial level, this is a disarmingly pretty but deeply dark meditation on the folly of human encroachment on established ecosystems. A place to get lost in while doing no harm.”
“Être en parfaite symbiose avec la neige : tel est le rêve que veulent réaliser nombre d'artistes qui officient dans le black metal atmosphérique — même le décès par hypothermie de Valfar, au-delà de sa dimension tragique, fait valeur de symbole. Dans White-Nose Syndrome, Escaping Aghartha ne se situe pas dans ce courant de pensée. Son drone est un cauchemar glacial éveillé (comme un air de Neige et Noirceur...), un mausolée à ciel ouvert. L'œuvre la plus poignante d'Avery Dart — de très loin.”
“Am loving everything about the Escaping Aghartha project. Each release highlights a specific challenge caused by humanity towards the environment. The last record, he showed how we have fucked up the ocean. Now, on "White-Nose Syndrome" Avery Dart takes us on a 30 minute ambient noise exploration describing how a disease brought by humans into caves has impacted the bat population & its resulting ecological affect. Sound dense? Nah - play this shit loud & dive into this dude's mind. Astounding.”
“This is Escaping Aghartha's best release so far. It fully realizes its concept and makes leaps and bounds in production quality.”
