For me, if you play this sub-sub-genre of music you're either Darkspace or you're not. But now I am forced to admit a third possibility... you are Voidsphere. Each 20 minute track infects and inflicts with continuous forward energy, eventually led by a fuzzy but clear and prominent guitar melody. Guitar chugging is occasional but assists with momentum, while screams are a sparse but complimentary part of the journey, almost as if they are happening in fixed spaces, while we as listeners fly by. rvss.eel
When discussing HWWAUOCH, two descriptors that often come up are "abstract" and "hard to listen to." If you're into semi-coherent disso-riffing and wandering basslines over spastic blast-storm drums and unhinged rape-goblin vocals then listen away. Just don't say that no one warned you.

Will this be the final form of Mahr? It's impossible to tell as with Odium, the most volatile and ominous of the Pràva Kollektiv entities full-on switches back to long-form black metal. Add on top of that deranged, unpredicable aggression and maximum eerieness, utterly demented vocals (think Pharmakeia) and atmosphere straight outta the seventh circle of Hell. Odium is invaluable in its savagery, ruthless in its brutality, hard to grasp and - primarily - very, VERY good... and hateful. Slava! David Fischer

You are flung into the depths of space where you witness the birth and annihilation of countless worlds, people, stars, galaxies. You can only wonder and awe as you are crushed by an infinity of cosmic forces. Only the omnipotent can hear you scream into the darkness.
You calm down as you realise the Void can, in fact, sense and perceive your desperate scream. josef_n
