4 stars His heavy machinery guitar appearances encourage us incredibly. So glad to find SENMUTH came back with his great post-metallic guitar plays in this creation. Especially the first shot track "Acochiztli Macuilpoalxihuitl" is another crazy masterpiece without any apparent new-age-y approach. Of course his newage expression is essential but sometimes we would like to enjoy his simple (and deeply heavy) post-metal production, wouldn't we? His fuzzy dissonant guitar shout is quite immersive, and melodic eccentricity in the middle moment is pretty impressive. We can completely get drenched and drunken in his square guitar techniques. Such a superbly motivating song is definitely fit for the prologue.

"Хicаlliс Еzticа" features his ethnicity full of bizarre distortion with intensive vigorous guitar explosions as well. Strong curiosity to orientalism and experimentalism should be his massive power and energy for prolificacy. And such a contralateral mixture is also promising. "Сhiconquiаhuitl" is amazingly too melodious, mystic, and calm for his production to involve a big charm that can absorb the audience. Sounds like we are deeply meditating in a dark temple with listening to this song. Meanwhile, in the following "Ixpoluia Tepamitl" we can be caught by his deadly guitar-oriented dark nebula and weird ethnic melodic experiment. Such a mysterious orientality created with percussion and wind instruments is fantastic, also as for "Maxelihui Miqui Аhuiyac", where we join serious urgent impression launched via the song's atmosphere. The last "Tlahuacapa Itech Tlalticpac" is a wonderful combination of heaviness, postrock essence, and newage texture ... regardless of the shortest stuff in this album, potential and encouragement through it should be enormous.

Anyway he's been in hibernation for half a year since the latest album released ... it's a kind of serious situation he's gone out of activity for six months or more. I'm afraid he would have been burnt out whilst finishing this opus. Please come back soon.
