Before Crossing A Destiny

LA RECENSIONE

"Before Crossing a Destiny" is the latest album by BLooDNoISE, consisting of 10 instrumental tracks with a total duration of 56 minutes. It features dense, dark, and ritualistic experimental electronic sounds that reminiscent of '90s dark ambient, shoegaze, and post-industrial noise. This album marks the final chapter in a series of at least a dozen tape-based productions by the project (1989-1996) and has been digitized and recently distributed by The Orchard (an independent division of Sony Music).
The work stands out for its intense emotional and sonic atmosphere, featuring dark melodies, pulsing rhythms, and a skillful use of reverb, delay, and distorted ambient sounds, creating a haunting journey into darkness and alienation. The tracks are long, vocal-free, and favor an immersive experience over traditional melody, evoking dreamlike soundscapes, unexpressed solitudes, possible destinies, and inner transformations. The album presents itself as an exploration between reality and vision, inviting the listener to confront existential fears and doubts. The layered sounds and industrial samples create an atmosphere of decay and isolation, with slow, obsessive rhythms that maintain an altered state of consciousness. The production is well-crafted for its time, balancing aggression and sweetness, configuring the album as a contemplative, reflective, and potentially transformative sound experience.
BLooDNoISE offers us a work that challenges musical conventions, placing the listener in front of an abyss of deep noises and rarefied atmospheres without bothering to appeal to the masses. Its purpose is to explore the boundaries of sound and express a dark and uncompromising worldview. It is an important album for its audacity and artistic integrity, a masterpiece of sonic darkness capable of generating intense and profound emotions, and one that we could consider as BLooDNoISE's sonic testament.
