"Doors to Annihilation" is a 40-minute exploration of intense noise, blurring the lines between genres. Conceptualized as a cosmic voyage akin to Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey," it delves into unknown territories with unexpected twists.
The album kicks off powerfully with "The Portal," blending repetitive beats with glitchy noise, creating a cosmic symphony of colorful tones. "Pass Through Dimension," though shorter at 8 minutes, offers a tranquil yet adventurous drone experience, hinting at space landscapes and occasional voices.
Tracks like "Abandon All Hope" and "Proxima Centauri" add humanistic and ominous tones, leading to the intense finale of "No Way Out," a dark drone/doom piece with a haunting silence at its conclusion, symbolizing a journey into the unknown.
This sci-fi narrative also mirrors earthly struggles, reflecting on industrial and economic pursuits at the expense of deeper values. Dichotomy Engine's second album of the year further refines their style, maintaining a dynamic energy without straying into sentimental territory, showcasing their evolving creativity.
"Under the Surface" demonstrates commitment to innovation and artistic expression, promising a journey without stagnation.
