Press Reviews
St. John's Eve-"At The End of It All" CDR- All I can say is wow! The stunningly belligerent 'The Situation', which
practically opens the disc, dares to combine brutal power-noise with huge and all-encompassing beats, reminding
me of APHEX TWIN's 'Come To Daddy', but more hateful and aggressive. That's saying something. Then it's on to
the grinding mantra of 'Rita', which feels like a metal cheesegrinder drawn across the skin in a slaughterhouse.
Following all this is the moribund death-ballad 'It's Getti ng Harder To Climb Back Up', which then gives way to the
soft and warm, ENO-esque ambience of 'Surfacing', which, dare I say, is like a REAL 'Music For Airports',
complete with the distant-yet-constant cyclic hum of the jet engines in the distance. And th is is just the first
several tracks on this 46-minute monster! Later on, there's more evocative soundscape work, combining samples
and what could be radio transmissions or field recordings into tension-packed wallops of what sounds like civil
unrest (in the creepy 'The Search', which ends with a, well, bang). 'Obsession' brings interestingly effected hip-hop
beats into play, while retaining it's distinct sense of unease and eerie post-goth vibes. 'At The End Of It All Part 1'
submerges a plaintive guitar melody underneath blistering noise, and finally, 'At The End of It All Part 2' is, as the
title describes, the sound of the coffin being lowered into the ground while the rumble of the living goes on
around. I love releases like this, as it's so easy to write about music that evokes such vivid mental imagery. I say
kudos to St. John's Eve mainman J.K. Weichert as this is simply a superior release. (GODSEND ONLINE)
