However, Gabrielle Giuliani never abandons the isolationist atmosphere he previously established. The result is a masterwork in Ambient\u003cbr\u003eIndustrial Noise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinds howl, rain soaked leaves are walked on, broken branches reverberate to the abyss, and voices of unknown origin lurk in the background. In a sense, much of the album's noisier moments play like an answer to the soundtrack to the Jean Rollin filmed dream sequences of Jess Franco's \"A Virgin Among the Living Dead\". Given the album's\u003cbr\u003enamesake, one can't help to think Giuliani had Euro-horror cinema on his mind while channeling these soundscapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike the suffocating characteristics of the Exile album, Giuliani uses The Beyond to experiment with silence and space. Throughout \"Before Silence\" the listener is faced with seeming\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e inactivity quietly under a thick layer of fog and tape hiss. While \"Under\" will\u003cbr\u003eundergo prolonged moments of near silence in its conclusion. It's only in the piercing horror feedback of the finale \"My Eyes Still See\" which brings the listener back from the lull in what is the most disconcerting of all Drift compositions. The torment the listener\u003cbr\u003ewill endure on this track is truly in Atrax Morgue fashion up until its conclusion, making way for the next album Earthquake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e_ Jim Mroz (Lussuria)\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Total Black \/ Chondritic Sound\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenre: Dark Ambient\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 470px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2294445467\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=ffffff\/tracklist=false\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/totalblack.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-beyond\"\u003eThe Beyond by Drift\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Distro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57530586595660,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/5517\/2684\/files\/Driftthebeyond.webp?v=1778672547","url":"https:\/\/embryo-store.net\/products\/drift-the-beyond-2cd-total-black","provider":"Embryo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
