the Toulouse-based Verset Zero makes his dark and bewitching music resound again with Obscura Manuscript, an album full of icy esotericism and noise saturations, on the Spanish label Subsist. Mix of indus ambiences, metallic hardcore and dark techno pushes, Obscura Manuscript experiments on the tracks of a dancefloor plunged in the dark, with blurred images and bubbling cinematographic atmospheres, pouring on scraps of film burnt with lime, an amalgam of bitter and dripping sounds. Verse Zero is a master in shadowy areas with creeping brutality, making its tortuous spirit run down on dented grounds, where synthetic fogs and martial rhythms mark the souls in search of belief or definitive agnosticism. Album taken in the Purgatory of Dante, with a more than uncertain outcome, Obscura Manuscript strikes the mind with its ostracizing evolution, with foggy flashes and Machiavellian purity, playing with certain forms of repulsion / fascination, making our senses capsize in a strangely addictive state of catatonia. Subjugating.
