Balthazar - Eclipse/Tools of Ill Omen [Simplify Recordings]

[balthazarely]

A phenomenal combination of deep and incredibly detail-oriented production with insanely complex song structure and highly progressive melodies, Balthazar debut is nothing short of an atmospheric, bass-saturated masterpiece.

The first track, “Eclipse” sets the stage with a powerful, IDM-influenced melody, extraordinarily precise use of effects and a wildly diverse percussion rack. The listener is immediately put into the mindset of a wanderer in a far-off land, witnessing their first-ever total solar eclipse, an utterly mind-boggling and completely terrifying natural phenomenon. “Tools Of Ill Omen” immediately rounds out the release with bombastic bass and a pumped-up melodic lead right out of the gate. A heavy drum repeat heralds the release of explosive and gritty reverb, a funky bass-line and endless bits of variation throughout the track. Concise and masterfully articulated, “Eclipse / Tools Of Ill Omen” is a massive first release for this staggeringly talented new producer.
