De sfeervolle hoes, het predikaat ‘post-black/doom’ en de constatering dat Hypnotic Dirge Records verantwoordelijk is voor de release van dit album, geven een goede indicatie van de muziek die de luisteraar op Wijde Wijdte, het debuutalbum van het eenmansproject Omgeving, kan verwachten. En inderdaad: de uitgesponnen, wijd uitwaaierende klankentapijten vol ruizige, introverte black/doom met ambient- en blackgaze-invloeden waarvan Omgev...

Now here's a guy who knows exactly what he's about all...the...time. Honestly not sure I do, however. Look at that cover by Polish tatoo artist Kuba Kujawa. Seriously look at it. Do you know what's going on there? You might think so at first. Now the band name, Omgeving, is Dutch for "surroundings" and this is the type of album that will certainly surround you in every way possible, but it doesn't seem that way at first, to be honest.

I decided to fix it at least a bit through the debut "Wijde wijdte" of the Dutch project Omgeving . The genre box of post-black / doom metal looks quite repulsive, but the albums seemed pretty good to ...

Tras el nombre de OMGEVING se encuentra el proyecto en solitario del músico holandés Franck Johanson (DISTILLATOR), quien ha dado rienda suelta a su pasión por el Metal más oscuro y la experimentación sonora, como podemos comprobar en lo que es su álbum debut “Wijde Wijdte”. Ocho cortes que vienen envueltos en un bonito digipack de varios cuerpos en el que destaca sobremanera la magnífica portada creada por Kuba Kujawa, con e...

Instrumental albums and artists used to really bug me, I can’t quite put my finger on why they just did. Perhaps it was the fact that I didn’t have much time or care for more progressive sounds, or maybe it was because I felt as if it was lacking something. Whatever the case may be I have since grown up shall we say and now fully embrace a whole range of genres that are often pretty firmly rooted in the instrumental field. Give me anyt...

Post-black-doom proveniente de los países bajos, esta banda es el proyecto debut de un solo músico, Frank Johanson, y definitivamente este hombre crea un sonido que no será del agrado de los entusiastas más encariñados con los sonidos tradicionales de la música extrema.

Wijde Wijtde, es una colección de temas que definen lo que experimental significa, sonidos ambientales que escasamente podrías definir dentro de algún genero esp...
