Sam KDC continues his rekindled relationship with 170 for Omnia - 4 potent and rhythmically diverse meditations doused in mysticism and constructed with layers of meticulously hypnotic motifs.
A master of mood enhancement, The Crypt Master opens the Omnia tale with Indra's Net - a serpentine winding groove wrapped around trademark brooding ambience and pinned to signifying percussion. The Shroud revives the feel Sam explored in Omen Rising, this time set to a throbbing 170-step and layers of dubbed out textures. Metempsychosis again takes a snaking rhythm that writhes around itself peaking and diving and letting out screams of delight, while Rhea's Revenge envelops you in a warm radiant ambience before kicking off into a searing amen lash out.

ASC is the perfect candidate for a House of Leaves soundtrack. The book, like this album, has an ominous, mysterious feel. I view the synths as the setting and suspense, and the drums are your heart rate while sifting through the upside down and inside out pages of this thriller. Blake
