Mekigah - To Hold Onto A Heartless Heart CD

This is the Aussie band's fifth full-length and features faster slightly more straightforward passages of bass riffing with upbeat but sparse, untechnical raw drums.

Guitars are used more to provide stabbing and yet ambient frequencies & what may or may not be synths along with piano work as counter melodies, odd clashes with riffs & layers of aural claustrophobia.

Sudden changes and shapeshifting in random ways to sections of soundscape noise, field recordings, morbid doom noise punk & relentless walls of frequencies all designed to overwhelm the senses but also to challenge on repeated listens to unravel and appreciate all the layers going on.

The few lyrics that exist on this album are like shards of emotions that don't contain the entire sentence but capture the core of the thought behind them.
