I††'s "Caput Mortuum EP" was the first CD released by one of the best WH labels ever - Black Bus Records (founded by Silver Strain). And what a debut it is. I†† found a perfect spot between otherwordly drones, tons of reverb and pulsing beats. It's hard not to pick up some of their influences, ranging from Angelo Badalamenti to MSV, but they are tastefully translated into original and haunting compositions. The opening "Zombie D△nse" is a such a joyful intro, slowww zombie rave, simple yet super catchy and melodic. The middle of the EP is way more gloomier, faded and menacing, like a dazed stroll through hell, ending with pulsating dubs of the underworld in "St△nd". There's also a bonus tracks "Satanis", which cleverly completes the EP, coming a full circle by invoking dragged zombie rave vibes once again. Really awesome release.
