Been listening to it all evening, for fans of Clubroot and the first EP from Dark Cloak ( viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1448 ) it's a must! I can't believe it's your first album-proper. Omnious, trippy and heavy (bass wise), glorious LP, I just hope it will open some much needed doors for you <3

I've also posted a mini-review on my blog:
https://mutantzones.blogspot.com/2021/1 ... iccan.html
MONOMORTE is a Liverpool-based dark electronic musician Danny Ryder, who's been been steadily releasing quality EPs and singles since 2013 via his bandcamp page. Even though he's been active on the witch-house scene for almost a decade now, his new project "The Wiccan" is de facto his longplay debut. Inspired by Gerald Gardner, who popularised the wiccan religion, the album deconstructs vocal samples and field recordings from his coven, and mixes them with MONOMORTE's signature style that glides smoothly between pre-trap era witch-house, tribal bass music championed by Shackleton and future garage of Clubroot. On "The Wiccan" he manages to craft a cohesive occult story, told with an eclectic sound that is both sublime and menacing, eerily familiar and comfortably distant, merging modern horror sound design with ghosts of dubstep past. The album is a natural continuation of MONOMORTE's artistic journey but also a brilliant starting point for anyone who's not familiar with his previous work.

This really is a brilliant album. Sonically builds on your previous releases and has a clear conceptual thread running through it. Outstanding work.
