@shishikoedo

@shishikoedo is at least a better track title than 1/1. And also, the contributors to this piece of music are different from on the previous recordings:

To create it, we united in one big orchestra of 7 people: three vocals, two drums, keys, noises, lots of guitars, and even an accordion!

As should be surprising whatsoever, this assortment of musicians takes the listener back to the experimental style, which had been at the core of the first release, instead of further exploring the funeral doom metal of the second one. Yes, the initial moments of @shishikoedo are a nod towards this genre, but the music deviates rather quickly away from it instead of remaining somewhere in its vicinity. Maybe it is necessary to write a few words about Miroed before continuing further. They are a band whose music is labelled as grindcore. Keeping this in mind, one might suspect the music on this collaboration release to be more aggressive and enriched with more switches in terms of the tempo or even with some influences from the punk genre or with some odd samples taken from horror movies. Such is actually not the case. This one track is not a brew of the two genres that have been mentioned so far. Instead, all heads off into an utterly different direction.

As has been written above, it is funeral doom metal or something close to it that opens this track. It may not be a stretch to call it a kind of atmospheric funeral doom metal. Something like Skepticism, but with a different kind of intensity. A layer of keyboards in the background, but with a slow-played melody on top of it. Those who happen to know the previous release will recognize how these initial moments reprise parts of the previous recording. And even though the sound is different, the combination of vocals appears different as well, their intention and character reveal the intent.

It progresses towards the drone doom metal genre, but it preserves part of the earlier musical facets and atmosphere. Roughly at a third of the track, the music breaks down into something else. And this introduction of experimental and noise elements is something that is there to stay. All becomes rather minimalist and bereft of intensity and aggressive sounds — a kind of ambient with vocals. More of these and of various types join in over time, which results in a charmingly chaotic piece of music with a drone guitar layer in the background. After another break and a disruption of the music, some kind of techno music closes the track.

It is a bit difficult to see why this release exists. Some nice ideas can be made out, but the novelty can be expected to wear down rather fast. Maybe good for a spin now and then, but probably not beyond that.
