OUTSIDE THE UNIVERSE

A neat piece of atmospheric post-metal with light elements of the better side of djent. Widek is a one man music machine like Sithu Aye, and this debut from him is great, all things considered. The atmospheric parts and backings here are the best parts, and Widek clearly has talent towards making them. There is also variance in the particular moods those parts convey. The first, sixth, and seventh tracks are the cream of the crop as far as the ethereal bits go. As far as the metal goes, it's not the best, but is a working style that mixes in various ideas into something worthy enough of the lulls. The fact that Widek has a handle on how to do djent well is also commendable. A good album, worthy of listening, but I would love Widek to do ambient records more than more like this.
