Album: FEED YOUR HEAD
Label: RAUMKLANG
Ecstasphere is the fairly new project of German based Ophelia The Suffering. Feed your head is the long awaited debut release on the new label Raumklang, I have been looking forward to hearing this,
it has 13 tracks, it's a very accessible release and has beautiful progression through out, for a new project, the Ecstasphere sound stands up there with the big names of the scene.What keeps ones attention is the fine detail track to track and the way it builds from start to finish, the haunting piano lines in Track 1 entitled "Our Souls" and the errie vocals layered upon driving drone soundscapes set the pace. Then the big noisey kick drums come in, with layers of fractured rhythms, breaks and harsh marching percussion.It is really hard to pick my favourites from this release as it was a great pleasure to listen to from start to finish, this will keep any avid listener very very happy.
Look out for Ophelia touring her new release, you will not be dissapointed.
