Russell's Teapot's contribution to ECHØVEIL's Halloween-esque first anniversary is a little marvel of surreal, distorted dark ambient. A nightmare within a dream within yet another nightmare, unfolding inside the opiate-addled mind of a dying man, injected with a cocktail of synthetic substances as his derailing consciousness hallucinates multiple psychotic / psychedelic incarnations of Hell... An unreal track that slowly carves its own shadowy path beneath a cold metallic shower of austere field recordings, rancid proto-witch house, and dark ambient (with a heavy emphasis on the DARK here), all reeking of freshly deceased flesh. The maggot-spawning worms have only just begun their work on the still-warm carcass. -Sir Kuliktavikt
