Yokai, by The Rosenshoul

Yokai

by The Rosenshoul

supported by

Dilaremeo Yamachichi may not have the impact it does without the preceding tracks. It's so eerily menacing. Favorite track: Yamachichi.

MorKroM this sounds like the birth of a demonic warmachine ... menacing and somehow beautiful ... Favorite track: Akujo Nokaze.

L.Tech Duncan Ritchie (The Rosenshoul) takes the listener on a harrowing journey into another dimension where the sights and sounds are ghostly and shadowy.

"Yokai" is wonderfully atmospheric with its foreboding disquietude of deep bass drones and wisps of supernatural intonations. Listen if you dare, and take a leap into the Unknown. Quite excellent dark ambience!

Bruce Moallem While you can't go wrong with anything by The Rosenshoul or Duncan Ritchie for that matter, this one has left the most poignant impression on me. Yokai's unsettling, and clanking metallic landscapes quickly surround and suck you into its never-ending world of nightmares. I don't use the word nightmare lightly either. In fact, this is as close as your going to get to being a character lost in the maze of boiler rooms from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" films.

A Walker An industrial nightmare from beginning to end occasionally dropping in and out to reveal its dark and often fantastical ambiance. The Rosenshoul's constant all encompassing and dense noise is a one of a kind experience. There truly isn't any other musical project quite like this. It's as if you're drowning in sound, caught in a rip tide to which there is no escape Favorite track: Yamachichi.

LJ Such a confident and challenging album. Most certainly The Rosenshoul's most fluid album and like all contain a deep underlying narrative driving the album as a whole. From the howling electronic Akujo Nokaze opening track to a far more laid back affair with Shōkera and its horn instruments floating through an ocean of sound creats a bridge from the opening track to the closing Yamachichi with its deep, dark and rather alarming presence. Second best only to the epic 'Low Winter Sun' album. Favorite track: Yamachichi.

about

The Rosenshoul Australia

Imagine the internal workings of the human mind laid to waste like some post apocalyptic world. Those few tortured threads of humanity left drifting painfully through a vast empty nothingness. A deafening silence becomes an unbearable blinding hum, the pulsing in your temples an industrial nightmare. ... more

Babi Yar
by Flowers for Bodysnatchers

supported by 248 fans who also own “Yokai”

Not to get preachy & up on a soapbox but as someone with a passion for History there has been a shocking rise in the U.S. over the past four years of fascism, anti-intellectualism & a lacking understanding of basic historical facts in a good part of our population. "Babi Yar" is an intense imaginary soundtrack to a real historical nightmare that highlights the mass shooting perpetrated by the Nazis in the Ukraine during WWII. Read the summary - this shit could happen again. Wake up and resist. bcb723
