As Spiral of Grief opens, we are greeted by our narrator friend, the same way as the albums previous, and we then we are carried away by the sounds of the standard God Body Disconnect “wall of ambience” of which composer Bruce Moallem is known.

Industrial pulses that blend into an organic bed texture… with its kinetic analog pounding gives a martial feel to the ethereal pads, and each subsequent track helps to construct this environment in the listener’s mind; this subterranean refuge of machinery constantly thrumming in the background of these caverns and grottoes of the sanctuary.

Usually… we, the listeners, are treated to sinister drones and barely audible stabs and percussions… Crypthios refreshingly changes this paradigm with Vestigium, and rather than bestowing us with tenebrous wind and descanted, reverbed field recordings, we are treated with gentle, meandering pads and more introspective, organic notes.
