Sol Niger, the latest album by Equinox, is a captivating journey through the depths of electronic music. The album features a unique blend of ambient, experimental, and industrial sounds that create a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.
The opening track, "Abyssal Plains," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ominous drones and ethereal textures. From there, the listener is taken on a sonic journey through tracks like "The Serpent's Kiss," which features distorted vocal samples and glitchy percussion, and "Black Magic," which combines eerie synth melodies with heavy, industrial beats.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Necropolis," which features haunting piano chords and atmospheric textures that build to a crescendo of glitchy beats and distorted basslines. Another highlight is "The End of the World," which is a masterful blend of ambient textures and driving percussion.
