Darkgem – Luminous Hag
There is vibrant energy and a sense of immediacy to these tracks, probably due to the purpose of the composition.

In Transmission is perhaps the most immediate album I’ve heard all year. I feel like I’m front row at a show and only years spent developing self control have saved my couch from being turned into kindling in a living room mosh session.
The reality is that it draws you into a trance with it’s droning rhythms, building tension and beauty slowly, Ghafur revealing more of this monster with each bile filled invective.
I can count on any Sentient Ruin release to be well crafted, challenging in some way, and aesthetically interesting.
I press play, I am transported to some warm, dark, dangerous, and welcoming place, and then some indeterminate time later, I come slowly back to this world.
I think the only important thing left to say, is roll for initiative!
So, the whole album, plus a few extras, all delivered with such energy and professionalism that one would almost think these guy’s had been doing this for a while…
They know what they’re doing, and they are executing their craft in the most passionate of ways.
The sounds of synths and muffled drumming reverberate through your marrow, causing shivers unannounced.
