Every once in a while, a significant album like this comes along. Significant not because it's treading new grounds and is a masterpiece to be remembered for generations to come, but because, in its inherent quality, it reminds you just how many small artists and self-produced albums are out there that fly under the radar. Taste of Wormwood is an album exactly like that.

What a huge surprise indeed. Expected music that only successfully related to its intended theme through lyrics alone. What I got was an album that does a fine job (from a spectators POV obv) at capturing the events of Chernobyl. Frenetic passages, despondent atmosphere, euphonious melodies, complementary samples and a sax! Each song has a music video that shows the events before and after with some scenes being recreated. Many of the repercussions are shown be it biological, industrial, financial, political et cetera. It felt like a musical documentary. Ecstatic I've finally found an album that handles a theme I love well.

You should've read the review when it was published. I basically said the same thing.

I.
