Decomposed Metal Skin's video: Book Of Sand - The Righteous Is the Enemy of Natural

"Book of Sand presents its unique concoction of harsh yet delicately gentle aural nihilism, it is ultimately clear that when creating a wall of intense sound, reliance on band tactics is not as vital as is commonly thought. Beautiful as it is ugly, Destruction, Not Reformation is complex. The scuzzy, feedback- laden fuzzes of 'European History is a History of Rot' battles against its embedded blackened beauty – calm and relaxed vibes mirroring and fighting against the distant background screams. Anarchistic destruction - without the much expected crust element - intertwined with classical composition makes for bizarrely exquisite listening as the record progresses menacingly. Violin inflections graze deeply against the sombre drone, and tracks such as the outstanding closer 'To Live Forever' truly encapsulate Book of Sand's peerless sound. Heavy as hell from start to finish while remaining as light as a feather, it is undeniable that Book of Sand has cultivated and crafted a flawless piece with Destruction, Not Reformation. It may be surprising to many, but genre-challenging has inspired – and it's for the better. " www.bookofsand.org www.mouthbreatherrecords.com
