Stijn Van Cauter, notorious for his many, many extremely slow Funeral Doom/Drone projects, has crafted himself a new vehicle for his agonizing depression (read: boredom). Not all of his projects are a success though, and quantity should never be favoured above quality. Beyond Black Void, with sole release "Desolate" under its belt, brings tears to my eyes and makes me wonder what the hell got into me that convinced me to abandon Robbie Williams as favourite artist.

If I gave this album a listen when I first read Lucas' review then I would have hated the album. I simply wasn't into drone and noise the same way as I am now. To me this does work quite well. It's kind of odd that Lucaspraised both Hjarnidaudi and Hlidolf which are quite similar to this album. This is specially true with Hlidolf as it is also massively monotonous, with loooong drawn out guitar leads and a space/sci-fi theme.

So yeah, Desolate. It truly gives you that desolate feeling. It was great to have it in the background while I was doing stuff at home. It was still pretty immersive. Just don't expect any emotion to come out of this. This is drone at its most sterile tone. But given the themes of the album that is a compliment.
