Panoramica Degli Abissi by To Die on Ice

For fans of Charles Mingus, Mamaleek, Cisnienie, all things David Lynch, and the uncomfortable burden of transcendent knowledge, Panoramica Degli Abissi by To Die on Ice speaks straight to our subconscious in the graceful tones of pure musical noir. In line with that direct influence from Lynch and his creative philosophy, the musical environment of Panoramica Degli Abissi exists somewhere between the physical world and the dream realm, leaving us guessing as to which side of the barrier we sit. Distant jazz riffs lock into the low, slow grooves of doom metal, these riffs and grooves repeating in cycles loose enough to allow room for human adjustment but predictable enough to leave us entranced. The end result radiates darkness in the purest possible way, as a substance not uniformly depressive or bleak but as a textured space encompassing diverse feelings of levity, ambition, terror, and love. As we leave this mystical, shadowy world, we find its influence all over our inner drives and intuition, even hearing its siren song of saxophones as we encounter the absurd in our daily lives.
