Curdled Skin Subverts Structural Limits on 'Without Instinct'

From the moment the sub-harmonic drones of the opening movement, 'Silent Altar,' bleed into the punishing noise wall of 'Harsh Lung,' I found myself pinned against a harrowing wall of sound.

The mid-section shifts through 'Rivers of Distress' and 'Piercing Patterns' feel almost bodily, channeling the abrasive art rock of Swans and the metallic industrial crunch of Godflesh. When 'Glass Mouth' shatters into brittle, the vocal delivery reaches a terrifying crescendo before settling into the haunting ambient stillness of 'Window Eyes'.

It’s an exhilarating, deeply unsettling piece of music where Curdled Skin are sculpting absolute tension. For anyone brave enough to listen!
