Only one year after Vacuum, “Pensées Nocturnes” (Nocturnal Thoughts) release their second damaging effect, “Grotesque”. Vaerohn told me once “Be careful, you have to listen to the record, not hear it”. It’s up to the listener. While maintaining a chaotic, avant-gardist, deranged, even grotesque or weird melancholy, Vaerohn takes us through fun fairs, grandiloquent church organs, philharmonic orchestras, brass bands, piano decadence, dissonant or depressive Black metal riffs, or even Post Black, crazy voice clear as opposed to the usual standards, or screwed and dissonant guitar solo … And this description of his compositions is still too much simplistic… Everything moves on, intermixes and disentangles, contrasts and that is what makes the music so personal, complete and surprising. Each song is a rich and peculiar piece, where each atmosphere, arranging, melody, transition, regression, deconstruction is carefully thought, which makes this album an artwork you rediscover each time you listen to it! It is Vaerohn’s selfish pleasure, freed by his tortuous mind that will fulfill music-lovers.
LINE-UP : Solo project by Vaerohn.
