Deadlife - A Moment of Silence (2019)^{Release ID: 40605}

Deadlife is one of the many projects of Rafn (aka Anders Nord) who also plys his trade as Hermóðr and Mist amongst others. He is a prolific releaser of material, with 21 EPs and albums as Deadlife since 2018 alone. A Moment of Silence is a single track lasting 17 minutes that mixes some of the atmospheric black metal of Rafn's other projects with Deadlife's DSBM for a melancholy, yet hypnotic release that won't exactly cause much of a stir, but which is actually quite a nice piece of gently morose black metal. It doesn't do anything fancy, but it's fairly minimalist approach and uncomplicated arrangement is quietly reflective and actually quite a calming experience. There's not much more to say really, other than I enjoyed it and actually like it more than his work as Hermóðr.
