April 21, 2007UnQuiet Reviews!
Reviews for The Unquiet Void's The Shadow-Haunted Outside: "Jason Wallach deserves much praise for his work in The Unquiet Void, for yet again, he has taken the atmosphere and the essence of Lovecraft's work and transmuted it into a symphony of dark ambient magnificence. His sounds are as alien and as terrifying as anything described in "The Call of Cthulhu" or "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," making this as much an appropriate audio accompaniment to the literary icon's works as the previous album was, as if Wallach were a conduit for us to enter the sound of Lovecraft's world. Like Poisoned Dreams, The Shadow-Haunted Outside possesses a focus and longevity that much of dark ambient music lacks." - Re-Gen (this just a snippet – click on the link for much longer, comprehensive review!) "2006 Blog'D Award - Best Music to Haunt Your Dreams or Your Wife With - "The Shadow-Haunted Outside is the second entry in The Unquiet Void's Cthulhu Mythos-inspired trilogy of dark ambient albums. Waves of sound slither and churn, disturbing chatterings rise to the surface of the squamous din and submerge back into the depths of a blackether tumult, and somehow the whole thing resolves in a Coil-esque groove. Jason Wallach strikes again. I guarantee that if you have this playing loudly at your house on Halloween no greedy children will be ringing your doorbell. More candy for you and Nylarthotep!" - Liar Society "Jason Wallach aka the Unquiet Void comes back with the 2nd chapter of a trilogy concept based upon the work of the famous horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. J. Wallach realizes one of his most complex pieces. His music has never been that soundscape like. He set up some ambient collages, which have been filled with an impressive layer of experimental noises. Some humming voices are now and than appearing at the surface. Tara Vanflower (formerly active in Lycia) is responsible for this mysterious touch, which for sure adds a bonus to this release. The main atmosphere of this album is quite cold, which perfectly represents the universe of horror and fright imagined by Lovecraft. The "Messenger deliver" and especially "Sleeper of N’Kai" are the both the pieces emerging from this opus. This isn’t my favorite album of UV for so far, but it’s a quite interesting concept as well!
