All Towers Must Fall

by Phragments

supported by

L.Tech Phragments have released an album of monumental proportions, an album that combines overwhelming dark ambience with military, industrial and war related themes.

Gone are the snare drums, horns and marches of the band's early releases. Instead, apocalyptic soundfields and deep bass drone layers that sound like massive foghorns propel this album with a relentless, dark energy. Possibly, the best album Phragments have released ... absolutely brilliant! Favorite track: The Iron Well.

evilhippo Magnificent. Has a cinematic sweeping feel to it and reminded me of the dark vistas of Blade Runner. Favorite track: Into Nothing.

about

The all new, fifth full-length album of Phragments is unmistakably dark ambient in nature, yet the overall feeling of the songs is more industrial this time. Moving a step further into harsher territory, "All Towers Must Fall" brings together dark ambience, heavily treated field recordings, classical instruments and also analogue synths, all echoing with orchestral grandeur. Phragments still follow a rather abstract and minimalist path, but this time the compositions have a touch of subtle chaos. With the atmosphere ranging from brooding to menacing, “All Towers Must Fall” is a gripping journey through desolate darkness, a gaze into the endless abyss.

It's a well produced album. Every track sounds really good. But unfortunately, some feel out of place for the concept aimed in the album, like the industrial track "Wind-Up Orchestra", or the repetitive, unimaginative "An Atrementous City" and "End of the Century". Totally out of place. This and other electronic tracks feel like they belong in a more urban, futuristic scenario than a 19th Century "Den". Elías Ortega Fajardo

I slept on this album for far too long! After finally downloading it, I quickly realized what a beast of a recording it is. The album cover perfectly sets the scene for this Eastern infused dark ambient recording, which is becoming one of my favorite Cryo Chamber collaboration releases! I highly recommend this one!!
