Troum - Acouasme - Music CD

Following their much-praised 2015 collaboration with raison d'etre (De Aeris In Sublunaria Influxu) and the 2013 conclusion of the Power Romantic trilogy (Mare Morphosis), Acouasme sees Troum heading in a completely different direction, creating a harsher and more industrial-sounding album as a contrast to their previous releases. But through their trademark Troumatic machining, the final result doesn't sound at all like standard harsh noise - it's rather industrial noise as if filtered through a feverish dream, through a deranged perception. The six long tracks of pestering transrational drones on Acouasme sound like an aural psychiatric symptom, a humming hallucination leaving stable reality.
