about

Some people make joyous and happy music. I do not. However, this is the music that I love and it brings a smile to my face. May it be so with you.

Album review by Dave Segal • Nov 2, 2018 at 4:20 pm | The Stranger Slog:
Thomas Andrew Doyle, "Outside of Reality" (self-released)
Thomas Andrew Doyle's recent recordings under his own name deviates radically from his best-known work in the heavy-rock band TAD. Where that Sub Pop-affiliated group erupted with a Dionysian pugnacity, Doyle's newer creations lean toward the refined and dark end of imaginary-soundtrack spectrum. Last year's excellent Incineration Ceremony LP proved that the Seattle musician/producer could tap into an orchestral vein of cinematic majesty and melancholy with enough aptitude to persuade Hollywood producers to come knocking on his Witch Ape Studio door, pronto. In a Stranger feature I wrote about Doyle last year, I said that the album "conjures both the gravitas of a European art-house film score and the grandeur of Hollywood blockbuster soundtracks. Synth-based and buffeted by strings of most morose hues, the music here elicits profound existential angst."

In October, Doyle released a five-track digital EP titled Experiments of the Spectral Order Vol. 1 that follows in a similar vein to Incineration Ceremony. It's slightly less dense, but it still carries a morbid gravitas that will make you want to ponder life's most profound mysteries. The nine-minute closer "Outside of Reality" drapes Experiments with a shroud of uneasy ambience reminiscent of former Napalm Death drummer and Scorn mastermind Mick Harris's Lull project. The piece's understated anguish and dread-laced drift make it ideal for a film director working in post-apocalyptic/sci-fi modes. This stuff is too creepy for any Halloween party.

On his Bandcamp page, Doyle writes, "Some people make joyous and happy music. I do not. However, this is the music that I love and it brings a smile to my face. May it be so with you." Accept this sonic gift with the grace with which it has been given.

How infinitely amazing is the feeling to be a proud (and lucky) owner of this fantastic release on vinyl! And on top of that, when I wrote to Mr Doyle that the code was missing from the vinyl, he sent me one immediately!! I don't know about you but I feel it's great to see that my high school heroes remain super cool and I 'm proud to be a Tad fan for the past 25+ years! Ioannis Valiakos

"Recorded during SUNN O)))s European tour 2005, culminating at Roskilde Festival, Denmark" : laissez-moi vous dire qu'il n'y a pas que cette tournée qui arrive à son point culminant mais aussi Sunn O))) d'un point de vue général car Solstitium Fulminate, qui sert d'appendice à Black One, est un monument qui conjugue noirceur vampirique avec une certaine forme d'absolu. Le ton musical plonge très vite dans les graves pour nous faire entrer dans le royaume de la mort. Attila Csihar est un Charon. Jordan Vauvert
