Sword Heaven - Sword Heaven

Review by Daniel Henry

Sword Heaven's self-titled album is a sonic journey into the depths of experimental noise. The Ohio-based duo, comprised of Aaron Hibbs and Mark Van Fleet, have created a collection of tracks that are both unsettling and captivating.

The album opens with "VII," a haunting track that sets the tone for what's to come. The use of distorted vocals and eerie soundscapes creates a sense of unease that permeates throughout the album. "V," on the other hand, takes a more rhythmic approach, with pounding drums and a driving bassline that keeps the listener on edge.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "IV," which features a hypnotic loop that builds and builds until it reaches a frenzied climax. The use of feedback and distortion adds to the chaotic nature of the track, making it a highlight of the album.

Summary by Daniel Henry

Sword Heaven have created an album that is not for the faint of heart. It's a challenging listen that requires patience and an open mind, but those who are willing to take the journey will be rewarded with a unique and thought-provoking experience.
