 An impetuous and visionary crescendo where the apocalyptic poetry that has always distinguished Tibet’s artistic vision is inserted into an unprecedented sonic context.

 Today, the apocalypse is depicted with the black sludge of a deviant and psychedelic noise, not without drone contaminations: nothing other than the electric externalization of the folk/singer-songwriter heart of the band.

This review highlights Current 93's EP 'Inerrant Rays of Infallible Sun' as a compelling and experimental continuation of David Tibet's apocalyptic folk legacy, enriched by powerful instrumentation. While Om's contribution is engaging, it falls short of their usual high standards. The EP offers a unique sonic journey blending folk, drone, and psychedelic noise, making it a significant and inspired work in Current 93's discography. Dive into Current 93’s haunting world and experience this intense fusion of folk and psychedelic noise – listen now!

 "'Only Europa Knows' undoubtedly stands out... a masterpiece that alone justifies the purchase of the album."

 "Themes of betrayal, confinement, uprooting... Pearce's 'lucid madness' grapples with tragic alchemies of blood and tears."

 "Stapleton's offering loses nothing of its absolute 'unlistenability'."

 "The autism of an artist like Stapleton...is the true destabilizing factor of his music."

The album offers a challenging, non-musical journey through noise, tape manipulation, and dadaist influences.
