October 30, 2013 · Not On Label (Celeste (4) Self-released)

Imagine being swallowed whole by a storm cloud made of distorted guitars and raw, desperate screams. "Animale(s)" is not just an album; it's an immersive, suffocating experience. It feels like a descent into a pitch-black abyss, where every riff is a blow and every vocal shriek is a cry of anguish. This is for those who find beauty in the brutal, catharsis in the crushing, and truth in the darkest corners of human experience.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition into the first instrumental track, "(X)", offering a brief, unsettling sonic interlude before plunging back into vocal intensity.

The moments where the dense, layered instrumentation builds to an almost unbearable "inner pressure" before a sudden, crushing breakdown, exemplified by the lyrical excerpts about being "hanged in a foul rope".

The contrast between the sheer ferocity of the screamo vocals and the underlying, sophisticated melodic structures that occasionally surface through the wall of sound.

The album's overall structural ambition as a double album, with its carefully crafted narrative arc culminating in the second instrumental piece, providing a sense of tragic finality.
