8/10





An assault of white noise, reducing black metal to a buzzing howl of instruments, Endless Dismal Moan is anti-music to the nth degree, the hellish inspirations of main man Chaos 9 resonating as savagely dark and characteristically unyielding.

A cold knife thrust deeply into the heart of conventional, commercial consumables, E.D.M. relays sounds that are relative to the aura of electricity, crackling and snapping through torrid blasts so fast it’s almost incomprehensible to the human ear. It is without question that tonality of this type is libertine in its aggressiveness, with Chaos 9 summoning sounds which are otherworldly and morbidly animalistic in nature. “Obsession”, “Calamitous Box, and “Gloom” all stand out, but it is difficult at times to not become plainly lost in the enveloping fury put forth here.

This particular disc contains a total of six bonus tracks designed to give the listener a bit more sound than one would generally bargain for. Although it may take several listens to distinguish between the atonal, brutish dark howls of hatred you will discover here, in time the shrill, treble-based production grows more listenable, assimilating the ears towards harsh dissonance can always be a daunting, if worthy task.

However, if you enjoy the dark side enough to be able to embrace the tone of these tracks, you will find some of the most wickedly evil black metal one might imagine. Sharp, cold and slicing, E.D.M. is nothing less than the edge of the blade and the epitome of diabolical manifestation yet to emanate from the shores of Japan.
