Escumergamënt: a name still unknown to many but which I am sure will spread like wildfire pretty soon. This mysterious Swedish band basically came out of nowhere in 2020 and now the debut album is out.

Since the band’s essence is deeply rooted in the glorious 90s, Escumergamënt has more things in common with that scene instead of the modern one, this album definitely standing above many of the releases of today, when it comes to composition and originality.

One of the strongest points of this album is the cold atmosphere, created by the use of many keyboards/synths which give the music a somehow psychedelic, bombastic, even dungeon synth vibe. The songs are quite long and contain a lot of tempo changes, with different layers of aggression and melody. The riffs are repetitive and monotonous, sometimes incredible catchy, but that makes the music even more enjoyable. Those riffs add a level of oppression, of abandonment if you like, which makes you sink even lower into this abyss of desperation that Escumergamënt has created.
