4 out of 5 stars "Her" voice will grow on you,.......2005-10-14

...all over you. Up and down your ancient spine, given time. I found that the point was to let this hideous work reveal itself to me, track after track. Go ahead, judge it -- at first. It will let you: it knows you're only human. But beware! Though this soprano sounded, to my ears, a bit false, I later understood it was only because the forces had her in their hands as a puppet-creature, and were using her as a mockery of all human. When you really start feeling this, I believe you will have found the dark heart of Shub-Niggurath. And Lovecraft will be proud.

5 out of 5 stars thunderous, terrifying soundscapes.......2003-01-23

This music sounds HUGE. Imagine the bass from King Crimson's 'Red' thrown even deeper into the red, with similer angular, sparse guitar and jazzier drums. Throw in eerie, operatic female vocals and the occasional piano, haunted house organ, and trombone. Produce it in such a manner as to emphasise vastness, as well as the subtlties of sonority and timbre. You will have Shub-Niggurath's 'Les Morts Vont Vite'

I found this band by way of 'Magma', which introduced me to the strange french prog scene under the loosely defined banner of "zeuhl" music. To the best of my knowledge, "zeuhl" is used to mean that a band sounds like 'Magma'.

Some of 'Magma"'s output is wonderful (and some is awful), so when I saw this band 'Shub-Niggurath' assigned the descriptor "zeuhl", I thought, this could be pretty good. AND IT IS GOOD!

And it sounds nothing like Magma. This is some seriously evil sounding stuff, far better than anything else I've heard under the 'zeuhl' moniker, with the exception of the very best of Magma. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
